[QUOTE="Mickha, post: 1152870, member: 187442"] Don't touch the dish until after you've checked the positioner setup. If you do want to start from the beginning, follow the guide, for using USALS. Ensure the motor, and LNB, are at 0. Enter your correct Latitude, and Longitude, into your receiver. Send your motor/dish, to a suitable satellite, using your receiver, in your case 0.8W, would be a good choice, providing you do have a clear line of sight. Then go to your dish, connect your meter, and turn the knob until it reads about 5. Gently nudge your dish, until the meter reads 10, then adjust the knob, again, until it reads 5, and keep doing this until you get the maximum, then adjust your dish angle, using the same procedure, until you get the maximum signal. Now go to your receiver, and scan in some channels, to check which satellite you're on. Use lyngsat, or king of sat, to confirm which satellite your on. Once you've found 0.8W, then send you dishto your furthest East satellite, that has a clear line of sight, 42E, or 39E, is usually a good choice, not the signal quality readings, then send it to 30W. If you need to make any slight adjustments, send it back to 0.8W, adjust your motor elevation, slightly, the compemsate by adjusing your dish elevatio, to get the maximum signal, then try your furthest East, and West, satellites, to see if you've improved the tracking, or made it worse. Then you just keep making minor adjustments, after sending it to 0.8W, until you're satisfied with the signal quality. [/QUOTE]
