[QUOTE="archive10, post: 883120"] When on hols in mid- to south of france, i tend to use dishpointer.com for the general direction, then get the elevation more or less right using the indicator on the dish bracket. As tivu says, elevation is often the thing that is easy to mess up. If you get the elvation more or less right, it is easy to scan the sky left to right in minute increments using the dishpointer indications. (I have however found dishpointer to be several degrees out in haute provence...) To illustrate the point, last year in a holiday home in Seguret near Orange, i manged to put the triax td64 up with clamps onn iron pole according to general elevation and direction of dishpointer, and hooked up the foxsat and was utterly amazed to find bbc1 on the screen, without any adjustment, never mind scanning the sky... It can be that easy, if you're lucky... So, get the elevation right, then scan slowly around what dish-pointer tells you. [/QUOTE]
