[QUOTE="aceb, post: 812753, member: 268811"] A bit early to be climbing on the shed to take a photo of mine too but my method was as follows. Set it as square as I could manage by eye with the dish on (with my wonky brackets) then checked it by taking a photo from directly underneath with the camera against the pole. A simple line drawn in photoshop from the LNB to the pole is enough to confirm it was accurate. Hook up the positioner and roughly get some signals at the top of the arc, using the wet cloth trick to make things more critical count how many pulses per ° between 4 and 5°W. Come back to the original dead straight line and count west the required amount, in my case 10 'clicks' of the V Box. Peak up Thor by rotating the assembly on the pole. ISTR it needed a minute amount of rotation after this which was acheived by slacking bolts one side and tightening the other. While I was at it after I'd done this I went back to 0° removed the sensor wires from the positioner and using a short loop of wire set the V Box to show 000, this might be considered slightly OCD though.
