Hi forum,
As the title says, I recently bought a technomate dish with a TM2600 motor.
I've mounted it plum & set the dish up as required motor & dish angles as stated in the installation guide.
I've got a Vu Solo reciever for reception, Long & Lat programmed in using USALS.
My issue is i cant find any strong sat signals, so I'm looking to get a good meter at a resonable price.
Can anyone help out here please!

Cheers..

Suttsy

You think you do but you don't. Solo supports usals. Personally used iPhone to direct me to zero degrees and once set in initial point no issue

If I remember correctly from setting motorised up easiest way is use dishpointer pro if you have a smartphone or find zero degrees south and at 0.8 degrees (almost bang on south) you should find Thor satellite and you can use this as your initial point for Usals.

P.S. I should have mentioned thats 0.8 degrees West. for Thor.
