Frequently Asked Questions & Tips & Tricks
How many receivers can control a FTA dish
motor?
Since a dish motor is designed as a
hobby item, only one FTA free to air receiver can control the
positioning of the motor. However, if you use a dual LNB or a quad
LNB you can install multiple receivers, but each receiver can only
watch the programming broadcasted from that particular satellite.
Do I have to be watching the same thing on
all receivers if I use a dual LNB or quad LNB?
No. You don't have to watch the same programming, but
you do have to watch a channel that is broadcasting from that
particular satellite that your motor is pointing to. Keep in mind
that only your main USALS or DiSEqC1.2 compatible FTA satellite
receiver can control the Free To Air dish motor.
Where Do I install an FTA DiSEqC Switch:
Typically, when you use a quad polar LNB
like the Invacom QPH031 you want to use a 2X1 or 4X1 DiSEqC switch
after the motor. Basically, here is a quick rundown:
-
Run RG6 cable from your receiver to
HH motor.
-
Run RG6 cable from HH motor to
"Receiver" port on DiSEqC switch.
-
Run RG6 from ports on DiSEqC switch
to Linear and Circular ports on the LNB.
Where to install DiSEqC HH Dish Motor Mount:
When you want to install an HH
Motor, do a thorough site survey to ensure the proper location to
install. First, scratch off the roof unless you have a flat roof and
you want to use a non-penetrating roof mount. The best place to
install a Free To Air HH Motor is on the ground on a pole. Go to The
Home Depot and get a 2" pole. Drive it into the ground about 2 1/2
and make sure to use a pole level to make sure that the pole is 100%
level.
Make sure & purchase a
SF95 satellite signal finder / meter
because it will help you guide your motor to the true south azimuth
location. The meter will go off every time you get a satellite signal,
so, when you keep on turning the motor, if the meter keeps going off, you
know you have properly aligned the dish to the satellite arc. If not,
you may need to keep adjusting for the proper azimuth. (Read
the installation instruction guide)
