    Edit: Sorry my eyesight isn't what is was - is it set at 40 degrees?

    Also use a satellite meter to set it correctly -don't put the wrong co-ordinates in the receiver because you haven't set it up correctly.
    The make/model is Technomate TM- 2600M3. What elevation do I need to adjust? Is that the dish or the motor?

    What do I need to do to raise a little bit? Do I need to adjust the motor settings on the receiver?

    Unless you change your bracket to a set of T & K brackets, you are on a mission. It is very difficult to get the bracket you are using exactly plumb. There is no adjustment!

    What the hell are you talking about. I'm not bother to get Portuguese channels. I only want to get Serbia channels nothing is else.

    For a motorised satellite dish to correctly find signal across the arc, it has to be plumb. Picture of your dish from other forum attached here for benefit of other peeople trying to help you.

    Thanks abu - I didn't know how you could tell what motor mounting system he was using from the photos he supplied!

    @chris0147 - it's next to impossible to set up a motorised system on a bracket like that. The motor must be absolutely vertical (plumb) in order to track the arc properly. T & K brackets allow you to finely adjust the pole that the motor is mounted on so that the pole is vertical.

    I can't change it because the bracket I got is galvanized as it wont be rusts. These T & K brackets will get rusts so it is no good for me. If you want me to change it then you should pay me.

    I can't see what it make any difference when change brackets as both works the same way. The bracket I got is vertical so what it make it any different!!!!

    Surprisingly, you can get galvanised T & K brackets.

    Too late now, I'm not going to change it over and I don't want to waste my money.
