Do I need to install a separate power
line to connect to the automatic
HH dish motor mount?
No. The
motor gets powered by the receiver. The receiver provides power to turn
the LNB on and to switch polarity. The motor consumes the same power
through the coaxial cable that runs from
the receiver to the LNBF. Simply run the coaxial cable to your
satellite dish motor, then from the HH dish motor
run a 3 or 4 foot coaxial cable to the LNBF.
How do I control the motor to move it East /
West?
The motor is
controlled by the receiver's remote control. All receivers compliant
with the DiSEqC 1.2, 1.3, or USALS protocol have the capability to run
an HH satellite motor. Once you install
and setup the motor to follow the satellite arch properly and store the
different satellite positions and locations into the receiver, the
receiver will automatically go to the location where the channel is
being broadcasted from when you change TV channels on the receiver.
Are all HH motors & receivers USALS, DiSEqC
1.2, & DiSEqC 1.3 compatible?
No. All
satellite motors and HH mounts are DiSEqC1.2 & DiSEqC1.3 compatible, but
not all dish motors are USALS compatible.
Motors that are NOT USALS compatible are sometimes more reliable.
Not all
satellite C/Ku band receivers are DiSEqC 1.2 and DiSEqC 1.3 compatible.
Some are DiSEqC1.0. Make sure the receiver
you purchase is at least DiSEqC 1.2 compatible.
Can I pick up C band and Ku band?
No. You
need a C band dish (2.4 meters / 6 foot) or larger to be able to pick up
C band. This system is only for Ku band reception.
Does the motor also adjust for variation in
elevation on the dish for each and every satellite
Yes. When
you install the motor based on your latitude, the motor will adjust the
elevation as well.
Should I skew (rotate) my LNBF to align for
polarity?
No. Just
leave the LNB at 0 degrees skew and the motor will tilt the satellite
dish to make up for the adjustment of skew.
What is the benefit from motorizing my dish?
Adding a
motor to your system allows you to receive satellite channels from
multiple satellites & not just one.
