I closed HISAT LTD 2021, but I'll still answer questions on satellite TV and TVBoxes
This video shows you how to install a motorised satellite TV system using USALS - the Copyright of the video belongs to my company HISAT Ltd, and it's intended to help any able-bodied novice to DIY install a motorised satellite TV system GbSat and HISAT are both my companies this Video was made in the year 2000, and we now use and recommend the CaP F connectors (see our other video on using those connectors) www.hisat.com for more details - The majority of adverts for USALS Motors on auction sites are for Chinese copies of this motor they seem attractive often they are sold for 1/2 the price of the STAB-USALS Rotorsat - but beware - the cost of installing a fake USALS motor is the same but because they are nowhere near as durable you'll have to replace it after a little over a year by Contrast I sold one of the original STAB motors to a Client on 27th January 2000 in February 2015 this client called me to buy a replacement - a storm had blown it down! Now the USALS motor comes with a 3-year warranty from HISAT, but this true account tells you why it's worth paying extra for a genuine STAB-USALS Rotorsat ONLY HISAT sell these original rotors in the UK and everyone else selling them is buying them from HISAT - this said as I wrote above many sellers claim they are selling a USALS rotor when in fact they are selling a fake Chinese rotor since I made the video SMARTPHONES now have free Apps to help you find south - see my video on CaP Cut and Push connectors
Great easy to follow best I have seen so far!
That was a good example of how it should be done and not much different if put up on a pole cemented in the ground either. That will be the easy part since the adjustments after the installation will take up most of your time.
Thanks mate, came here years ago, and stumbled on Ur eBay. Regards
Great useful video and Tony is very helpful at Hisat, will buy from there again.
Wow I can't believe this was 16 years ago
We put it on youtube 16 years ago we made the video before youtube and at the start we used to put it on a CD-ROM which people could buy or got given if they were buying a satellite system
You also make no mention of mistracking to the east or west due to incorrect settings. This is a nightmare for first timers and I think should be mentioned.
It took me ages the first time I insatlled a motorised setup and I must admit a video such as this would have helped .. Thank you..
Hello i just replaced my faulty moteck with the stab hh120 and im having some issues with it. For instance the signal sometimes fluctuates for example watching astra 19.2 - ZDF signal is 96% then it starts to suddenly fluctuate to 80.70,60.. and 0, the signal then comes back a few seconds later channel works fine with occassional signal loses. This happens everytime i change the position. I've never had these issues with my previous one.
onky on this channel or on other channels? when it comes to the signal from the LNB this is passed through the STAB Rotorsat - the signal loss may be due to water ingression in the cable - I assume nothing is coming between the satellite and the dish surface ( the branch of a tree blowing in from of the satellite would cause signal attenuation but these issues would effect all frquencies on the same satellite to some effect
I would definitely recheck the connections maybe remake the connections if they are old then if the LNB is old replace it (they are not much money any more I have new LNB's for less than £2 !)
it's taken 10 years for anyone to notice that :) although to be fair at the point when you need this information in the installation we do have it the right way around :) - that dish is not "still up" because we extended the garage which is out of site in most of the video but it never had a problem being a) a well built wall and b) relatively sheltered location at near ground level
I am still confused..as ever. When we put the clocks forward to BST that makes our clocks one hour in front of GMT therefore at 12 noon BST its really only 11am gmt. That to my mind makes Hereford (about 120mls west of London ) about 8 minutes later than London ..so South is 1pm Bst plus 8 minutes. My real problem is Technomate have a marker called Elevation. Obviously that needs to be set to Elevation not some other mystical figure. Can someone please enlighten me.
Geostationary satellites are so called because they are circumventing the Planet over the equator - when we made the video - we did so to help our clients most of whom were local to us (UK) - you are in the southern Hemisphere of the planet so of course the satellites are North (for you)
kind regards (Tony Hiscox)
@longballplease
even I'm tired of it now - but the video was made 10+ years ago we spent some time, effort and money making it, and a friend was involved in the band that made the music, ho hum :), I hope you found it useful even with the "Annoying music"
@bzdread
No - the video only discribes the installation process - the fine tuning finshes once you have the weakest satellite - after that if you have followed the procedure correctly selecting a satellite with the receiver will cause the dish to move to the correct position for that satellite
There is no mistracking if you use USALS usals calculates where each satellite MUST be if you follow the rules - making sure the pole is upright and then inserting your own longitude and latitude the longitude is entered on the STAB motor and the declination is about 7.5 deg for UK thensend the dish to first sat and move mount around the pole to the first sat - now all the sats will be very close - start with a strong sat then the weak ones can be fine tuned
Hi I have never used a motorised satellite dish so just want to know one thing. Do I need another cable to move the motorised satellite dish around or the coaxial cable does the job?
in the modern system the control and power for the USALS motorised dish all comes from the LNB cable
there is another system which predates USALS and DiSEqC 1.2 and that system is still used for dishes over 1.3 Metres if you haven't yet bought your equipment please give me a call on 07808607502
very good.
Just to avoid confusion: the Phillipines are actually located in the northern hemisphere, although fairly close to the equator.
And with an installation such as this (on a low wall) don't forget to put something large (big flower pot etc) underneath the sharp bracket to prevent small children running into those dangerously sharp corners.
+Second Unit Aerials, safety first buddy, there is/was a low wall where that installation was, (you can see Terry step up onto the wall in the video) but the installation itself was behind a gated driveway gated to the road and gated to the garden there is a lot wrong with this video which I hope doesn't take away from it's usefulness
Thanks for the reply, and thanks Terry for not being camera-shy.
Why is motor upside down? I live in Tillamook Oregon what would my settings be at LAT: 45.456216 LONG: -123.844014? i have a STAB HH90.
The STAB HH100 and HH120 are designed and fitted as shown in the video the HH90 is designed differently so that the pole comes out of the bottom of the body of the motor but it's all about how the rotors are designed - on your HH90 you will have a latitude mark so clear since you say you're at 45.5 North that's the mark you'll set the mount too your HH90 has an installation manual showing that the Body of the HH90 has markings which you line up against the Pressed Steel part which in turn clamps to the pole
as for the declination on your dish well I no longer have the HH90 in stock but I do remember your manual has help and this will be used in conjunction with the known elevation angle on your satellite dish - in short I can't help you without more information but normally I would use a website that'll tell you the elevation to your most southerly satellite then while the dish is in it's mid position use and angle finder under the boom arm of the dish that'll normally need to be set for the elevation of YOUR most southerly satellite - I hope I'm making sense - if you need more help whatsapp me on +447808607502
@@tony.hiscox Thank you very much, you were very clear on you're explanation and i understand sir.
not mentioned because it's not really relevant - finding south magnetic or true is a first step final alignment is what will give you the result you are ultimately aiming for - the method to find south using the sun is more acurate than using a compass but at this stage in the set-up the point is to vaugely know where south is (within a few degrees of it) when you get to send the motor to your first satellite your motor is still loose enough to make
Hi I am trying to setup my motorised sat but nothing happen.
I live in manchester ,my motor lat is 53.3 and the dish elevation is 30.I have.everthing looks ok but not signal.
Any help please.
Thanks
Well this video is your help
Did you buy the satellite equipment from HISAT?
adjustment but at this stage you're no longer interested in South more the specific satellite that you want - this is about helping a novice find many satellites using USALS - we arenot teaching people about the 4 different south poles
The Motor shown in this video is still in daily use - that's 10 YEARs after we first installed it! it's made by STAB of Italy it is NOT like the more common asian motors which are sold almost everywhere which lack this kind of durability - go to hisat.com if you want a good original STAB motor
@HISATdotCOM yes I meant to say "IF" you are in the southern Hemisphere
Can you please do it again Without the music
Sir, I made this free video nearly 20 years ago - at the time the music seemed like a good idea - let me know how the Video helped you instal you satellite system and or if you need further assistance help or indeed items for your new system please call me on +447808607502 or 07808607502
No LNB skew?
Absolutely not - as the dish moves east and west from whichever satellite is at it's south position (which is different for different people) then the LNB is skewed over - if you have ever watched a Motorised dish move you will note that as the dish moves it tips over (as it were) in the direction it's facing and that means you get the correct skew for each satellite your dish is pointing at - now in these latter days of Satellite TV the ground stations can ensure that vertical signals are vertical and Horizontal signals are Horizontal but in the bad old days when satellite TV started we needed INdependent Polorisers to adjust skew for each satellite as I say those days are long gone - hope you find my video helpful it was made more than 2 decades ago now but still the basic principles haven't changed Tony 07808607502 [if you want a chat]
do u still sell them boxes i thought u need a nigra card now to get all the games
+Barry Jones
that information is out of date and yes you can get good receivers for not much money - call me
I have many things I can offer you starting from as little as £100
07808607502
+HISATdotCOM do u sell android tv boxes
do you?
no, I sell satellite TV equipment - who wants to pay for all that streaming :)
i had a satallitte dish it was a technomate mate my mate said nigra something card u need cards
+Barry Jones mostly wrong in so many ways call me on 07808607502 uk or +44 1766 780612
could you tune it in for me how much would it cost
that's not possible because the motor has to be where it will eventually be used - just as in the video
there is nothing to tune also please call me details above
no not the motor adjust the dish by moving it up and down using a meter to guide you that is what i want done
Paddy - when you buy a satellite dish 1) it won't be assembeld never mind set to the correct angle on a rotor
that can ONLY be done when you do the install - this video explains how :)
new contact details are at hisatdotcom
You forgot to mention that the TRUE south is NOT the same as magnetic south.
What a racket
did the video help you though?
do you know of anybody in ireland that installs a motorised satellite tv system
best to call me - I have some trade customers there - or send and email to hisat@hisat.com 07808607502 my landline from Ireland +44 1766780612
In 2000 when we made this video we used the Metal F-Connectors supplied by STAB with their motor - I recently posted a Video showing the CaP F connectors we currently recommend - these basically beat ALL metal connectors for effieciency or lack of loss th-cam.com/video/5f4eDW8Yc6Q/w-d-xo.html
Your music play overused awful. I couldn’t watch it because it’s driving me nuts
if you really couldn't watch it there must be something wrong with you because to watch it you don't need the sound - but as I've repeatedly said in the decade plus since I made this video it seemed like a good idea at the time - so what do you expect me to do after all these years - if you want the information I suggest you get over yourself ;)
i had a motorized satalite got 1 channel on technomate
what does that mean?
if you need help call me 07808607502
i mean i had a motorized sallatite dish about 3 yrs ago and i got 1 chamnel on it the bloke said go on a website to look for the sports channels i only tune in thor channel only got 1 channel on it
well obviously you were badly advised - sorry but anyone can see that there are thousands of channels tunable once your dish is motorised call me if you want good advice
The bloke who I bought it from he said he charge my dad 600 pounds to fit it
Barry Jones
well as you can see fitting a system properly isn't difficult - maybe your dad chose the wrong person to buy from but my offer is open if you want to call me I've been doing this for 2 decades now
@longballplease you can also skype me "hisatdotcom"
It's spelled "MOTORIZED" NOT Motorised. I agree the music was a nightmare and took away from the video. It was entirely too loud in addition to being totally obnoxious.Motorize, Realize, Civilize etc. are all commonly misspelled with an "S" Apparently lots of people slept through spelling class. Without the letter Z we wouldn't have Zorro, Zebras or Zippers. Don't be afraid to use the letter Z. It may be the last letter of the alphabet but it's just as important as the first.
+Brojofus Grin how ignorant and arrogant can one person be ?
where is your free "how to" video?
motorised it is spelt motorised in England where the video was made - not motorized
www.tysto.com/uk-us-spelling-list.html
This "one person" is just ignorant and arrogant to bring your misspelling to your attention. Did that cause you public embarrassment? You obviously don't like to be corrected and can't handle criticism. Get over it. You just got a free spelling lesson. I didn't think a video was necessary. Private tutors are usually paid very well for their services. Where's your appreciation? Where's my thanks? I'm willing to bet you'll remember how to correctly spell motorized after this. Have a lovely day.
+Brojofus Grin you just don't get it do you? Motorised is spelt motorised in the country that brought you the internet and English - don't be a a perpetual idiot, educate yourself on the history of your language and the internet - you spell Motorised with a Z (pronounced "ZED") if you want to but don't be so arrogant as to think you know best how it's spelt in England the land that gave you English or here on the internet also freely given by an Englishman and don't be so ignorant as to tell me off on my free video to help people install a Motorised system - what difference do you think it will make if I did spell it the American way? - get over yourself. you are ignorant if you don't know the differences in spelling between many words either side of the pond and you are arrogant if you think all the people in England are going to spell it the American way xx LOVE xx
Try "spelled" instead of "spelt" That is just totally wrong regardless of which side of the pond you live on. I will note that "motorised" is the English way of spelling motorized. Do yourself a favour and consult your dictionary. By the way, when I spelled motorized with an "S" my spell checker automatically changed it to a "Z" I had to manually override the spell checker. The words motorised and favour are both underlined in red to indicate misspelled words. I don't usually spell favor with a "U" but did so for your benefit. Is the spell checker a British invention as well? Have a blessed day. Cheerio
+Brojofus Grin
you're wrong again Brojofus - I refer you to this
grammarist.com/spelling/spelled-spelt/
As for who invented the spell checker that was an American called "Les
Earnest" however this has been developed by people who aren't
"arseholes" to include options for other languages -not all Americans are
as ignorant or arrogant as you continue to be and some people can be
told they were wrong and actually research what they say and accept it
when they are. I'm not perfect but I can accept when I'm wrong so if you
had successfully proved that - I'd be thanking you. Instead I have to
tell you that you aren't as clever as you think you are and my computer
also underlines words it thinks I've spelt wrong but I have an English
(British) dictionary loaded!
www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/spelt
spelt
Pronunciation: /spɛlt/
Past and past participle of spell1.
by the way the Oxford English dictionary is ranked the number one english dictionary in all the world so please write to them and tell them that they have spelt "spelt" wrong
