Blog Entries: 1 My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 6 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/10E/13E/16E/ 19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S  The last noble sat warrior to fly the olden flag of Analogue | You need to align the dish to the Astra 2 cluster at 28E BTW - you have bought a Freesat or Free to Air receiver - Freeview is the terrestrial system carried through the transmitter network | ||

My System: Zone1, DSI8215 SkyHD, Thomson DSI4214, TF5000CI, Dreambox DM800 HD PVR - Nab BH0.12, TM-5200D, Gibertini 104cm, SNH-031, 36v Actuator, Vbox-II, 42°E to 30°W, Sling Media, Televes H45 Digital Processing Analyser, Satlook Micro+G2 NIT, Rover SDM 1s | Welcome to the forum, Changed title of this thread to one more appropriate. For 'freesat' you require the 28e slot. This will be approx 144° from your location. More info available at _http://www.dishpointer.com/ Use a compass for a rough bearing, connect up the meter, align the dish and once you have a signal scan the receiver to see. Edit: too slow again. | ||
