I have been watching a lot of discussion related to setting up a dish antenna for the first time.
I would like to suggest a WIKI entry for the installation and pointing of satellite antennas, with specific details of the data you get from the appropriate library pages.
I would think we should have the following topics covered:
first time antenna setup and pointing (geared for newbies)
what to expect from the library pages as gar as real time data goes (lock, snr, etc)
troubleshooting steps
We would need to keep this section current with any changes to the outernet software, of course.
If this is something useful, I don’t mind volunteering to get this section going.
I found this website very helpful when pointing my dish from UK. Some of the explanations of azimuth, elevation and polarity are well explained and applicable worldwide.
