[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 908298, member: 176362"] Assuming the cabling and lnb are still in operable condition then yes the old Sky dish will work fine for 13E. Mark the dish position up so you can quickly reset if you get hopelessly lost (pencil, tippex or the like) As a ball park figure move the dish the width of the lnb and raise it half the diameter of the lnb. Move the dish to the left as you are facing the dish. This will put you in roughly the right area, although the dish may need slewing round a bit further... Once you find a signal see if it 13E. If not its probably 19E so go a bit further. Once you are locked onto 13E then peak the slew & elevation up for max signal. The compass will be affected by the metal in the dish so you will need to move a little away [/QUOTE]
