Man, I have searched for SES5 all morning. It's not on the list. I saw SES4... But no SES5 on the list of satellites. I am using strong decoder 4950E.

On SES4, I got 4 channels CCTN, CCTV9,CCTVdoc and CCTVF.

I bought this decoder just for RT News(English). Quite frustrated.

OK no problem.You can track the SAT using tp 12015v29950 there,then blind scan to secure the channel or you can manually add the tp 12054v29950 RT NEWS

Thank you brother, the reason I asked is because I rarely install big dishes. Like today, I was trying a small lnb alongside the big dish I installed since sometime and it receives quran tv, 5 aljazeera and other Islamic channels but with no avail. It took me all day to install Eutelsat 16deg or Astra 19deg. I did not succeed.
EMMAACHILE:

Your comment or question is messed up.
Big dish receives more channels than small dish with any lnb. Simple

You are on 36e. You need to raise your dish up to get the satellite you r looking for.

He's obviously on the wrong sat. Dstv position for to be precise

The installer is familiar with DSTV position, and I guess he mounted it in that position. Here is a position of the dish facing east and my compass reading. What should do now? Any adjustment?

Bro, the installer left me in this quandary. I'm just trying use my DIY skills here but I am falling short.

SES5 @ 5 degrees East
Inclination ?

From my compass, I'm facing east. So 5 degree should read 95 on my compass, right? See photo

Hi Chris. No, I am not an installer. The installer I paid for the job left and he is not back since noon.
I put up a photo of the dish position facing east (I took the photo facing South). From my dish position, should I turn to the right? What about the inclination?
Pls help!

he is even using 4950 series decoder which will make it even harder to track as a novice
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by graphicicon(m): 9:08am On Jul 17, 2016
@Owagbeba, from the picture u posted shows that the installer is pointing on dstv position, from that position, dstv azimuth angle is 106.2 and elevation angle is 54.4, then for u to get ses 5, u must move your dish to the right while standing at the back of the dish, the azimuth angle of ses 5 is 190.9 and elevation angle is 78.8, that is to show you that ses 5 must face upward very well before turning ur dish to right, and lnbF skew should be on 5 0clock if u see dish as a wall clock.

Hello graphicicon and other fellows.
Happy Sunday. No church for me today. I'm stuck in a "solve-a-riddle mode" since last night...lol.

Now I guess the pan is facing East 96deg (standing behind the dish). Should I rotate to the right -to South 191degree? SEE COMPASS PHOTO

Inclination. I guess it's inclined at an angle of 54... Should I face up to 78 degree?

About skewing LNBF to 5'o clock. I am lost here. The LNBF handle is fastened to the dish by a bolt. It can not move clockwise. Can you show me a photo of your LNBF at 5' o clock?

Update:
I called the installer with the info you lovely fella provided, the f@cker said he can't do it. So I have to figure this out myself.

Now, if you look at the lnb, u will see that the cable is connected to it. Rotate the lnb so that the cable will be straight down from the lnb. (that's 6 o'clock position)
Now, put your receiver in manual search, enter the frequency, symbol rate and polarization given above. While your eyes is fixed on the signal bar on the decoder, slowly move the dish up and down, side to side around the position u r until the signal bar on the decoder turns green. Tighten the bolts and if necessary, fine tune the lnb to get the highest %. You can then scan
