Thank you, Rolf; I shall try this tomorrow.
I've got a signal strength meter, a MODEL:4640 SAT Finder. The 'REC' and 'LNB' ends are clearly labelled, it's got a series of LEDs to indicate strength, and a -/+ screw adjuster.
To use this, I'm guessing that I:-
(1) Switch on Television, Receiver and 5V supply to Dish.
(2) Connect Meter at any convenient point between the Dish and the Receiver with Sat. co-ax (in practice, this will be close to Dish!).
(3) Line up the Dish to approximately the right direction.
(4) Waggle the Dish's Elevation, Azimoth and Skew in turn; and fix at each maximum.
(5) If I get no LEDs then turn up adjuster, if I get all LEDs then turn down adjuster.
(6) Remove meter, reconnect, job done.
Is that right / any further tips? |
