I have been using an SG-2100 for about two years and it stops every time where my Nexus-s tells it to with no problems even in cold weather. Make sure your mounting pole exactly 90 deg. on all sides and well anchored. I live at 63 deg. West so I use the 61.5 bird as a reference point to start with to find dew south, some times its hard to find dew south even using a compass. So what I am saying is try and find a bird that's dew south of where you live that you can get a signal from and use that as a starting point and then start adding or subtracting degrees by rotating the motor mounting bracket on the pole, always with the motor set at '0' . Put a muffler clamp on the pole for the motor bracket to rest on while your doing that so it will rotate freely. Set your latitude where you live at on the motor bracket, in my case its 43 deg. North. Next put a straight edge up and down the face of your dish and ( if you live in NA ) using an angle finder add 30 deg. using the dish adjusting bracket. So in my case I end up with a total of 74 deg. up and down the face of the dish. Most of the dishes I have checked seem to have the lnb mounting arm set so the lnb ends up at the same angle in relation to the face of the dish. ( D**h,B*v and SC.) These numbers should put you in the ball park. The only issues I have had is the quality of the metal used in the the mounting bracket and bolts of the SG-2100 being of poor quality causing the bracket to bend when you are tighten up the u bolts. I will post a picture how I fixed mine.
