ronycoca is on a distinguished road
Default StarChoice HD settings

Finally found a cooler day to do an alignment on my Starchoice E75 Dual LNB Dish.

I have the DSR505 HD Receiver.

All the HD channels have a signal level in the mid to high 70s on Anik F2.

The regular non HD channels from Anik F1 come in with signal in the 40s+ range. A couple of peculiar ones such as City Toronto Ch 344 come in at 35 but the picture has no breakup. I might be able to work these a little higher but why?

If you are new to the game the first thing to do is make sure the dish mount is plumb. Very important.

My settings now on my E75 dish for a location north of Manzanillo are
Skew 102, Elevation all the way up about 75 degrees, Azimuth 192 degrees.

The HD channel pictures are spectacular. Bring on the Brier and Hearts!

Best regards,
Ronycoca

ps Thank goodness for the local Mexican Channels to help with my Spanish
