[QUOTE="T_G, post: 57737, member: 175083"] Hi Guys On the subject of aligning dishes: I have never used those meters, the only thing I used is half a kilo of finely ground Rolfadvice, a mobile phone and a 10 year old boy. What you need to do is choose a station on your dreambox on the sat you want to use. Then go to the roof and have someone downstairs with a phone watch the signal bars. If you got a reference of a dish on a house nearby that's enough. All you need to do is move the dish a short amount each time, and also up and down. With a 90 cm dish you should get a strong signal even when the dish is not perfectly alighned. Once you are near the signal bar will start to move, then you need to fine tune it. I have done so on many occasions, it is not a problem. SO:Start on one position where you think it is (relying on other dish as reference.) and mark this position with a felt pen. Move the dish up and down slowly. If nothing, then move the dish a mm to the right. Again up and down. If you think you are way out of position compared to the reference dish, then go back to your original marking and try the other way. If your dish and LNB is ok, you will find it! TG [/QUOTE]
