there are 2 type of scales, a Latitude scale and an Elevation scale, if the scale on the motor is marked Elevation then set it to 36, if it's Latitude then set it to 54my lats 54 we had the motor on 54 just looked at book says lat 54 elevation angle 36 declination angle 7.6 dish bracket angle 27.4.
So am I right instead of been 54 it needs to be 36,if it is I've just tried that moved dish up and down nothing
Does it not need to be set to Thor

For a motorised dish to work it needs to be set up correctly on the arc. You should set the motor on the pole at due south, put your long and lat into your receiver and then drive the dish to 0.8w. We use to use bbc world as a reference channnel. Once on bbc world you would then fine adjust the dish for peak signal. Once set on 0.8w you should be able to just drive the dish round to 28.2e or 30w and it should be on the arc.
Good copy and paste skills right there
nope all my own work :)
Set loads of dish's up in my garden, even once put a eliptical sky dish on a motor and managed to get 0.8 on a small 30cm camping dish bolted to a table. :)
