Back inside the house connect your satellite reciever to your TV as per the instructions, this is usually done by a scart lead directly from the back of the reciever straight into the TV set. Turn the reciever on and following the manufacterers instructions locate the motor setup screen using the on screen menu.

How to Install a Motorized FTA Satellite TV System How to Install a Motor on a Free To Air Satellite TV Dish for KU Band and How to How to Install a Motorized FTA Satellite TV System How to Install a Motor on a Free To Air Satellite TV Dish for KU Band and How to Align a Larger C band Polar Mount. The alignment process for tracking the satellite arc for small dish KU band and larger dish C band is very similar. A motor allows you to turn the antenna to different satellites. A small dish KU motor is operated through the single wire that normally runs from the receiver to the LNB. The wire will now run from the receiver straight to the motor. Then from the motor to the LNB. C band polar mount normally uses a linier actuator to turn the dish and separate wire and controller to power the actuator.

Before buying a small dish motor, try to decide which satellites you would like to receive. Here are some Free to Air (FTA) channel lists: Check How Far Your Small Dish Motor Will Need to Turn Go to and find your location and look up the farthest east and farthest west satellite that you want.

Note the azimuth for each and calculate the angle amount turned from south. South is 180 degrees. For example my farthest west satellite has an azimuth of 235 degrees. 235 minus 180 equals 55 degrees. My farthest east satellite is 22 degrees from south. Using the larger number I need a motor that can turn at least 55 degrees from south.

Small dish motors are sometimes advertised by their total turning angle. Atmega8 Uart Program. I would need a motor that has a total turning angle of at least 110 degrees. Just make sure your motor can turn the amount that you need. C band with linier actuator by design can only turn so far. The bigger the dish, the longer and stronger the actuator must be. Two Basic Angles Needed. There are two angles you will need to set up the motor or the polar mount.
