Finding the best....

Ok so I'm going to have a go at fitting my new motorized system over the weekend its a Technomate 5400 CI +.I'm a little confused as to with satellite I should be trying to line up with.I'm in the Portsmouth area and I have read so many threads about which satellite to locate first.I hear 'Thor 1' is a good one to set on first.Any info would gratefully be received.

My System: TM6800HD+TD110+StabHH90 motor,TM1000D+Orbital 1m Multifeed 16E,23E,28E.DigitAlB movies. A Bigsat BS-S77CX and a Sky Dodgibox.

Yes, Thor 0.8W, assuming your dish is sufficient. Your longitude is very very close to 0.8W, it is always best to use your nearest to due south satellite.

Just send the dish to 0.8W using USALS and away you go, and tune into 11325H, and adjust for best signal quality.
