My System: DreamBox 7000s - Nokia Freeview - Several GameBoys - DS Lite - ZX81 - SNES - N64 - Sega Saturn Dreamcast - PlayStation - Gamecube - PSP - iPod - iPhone - XBox - PS3 - Wii - No Life! | As wod says - depends on your budget. I set mine up using one of the 'beeper' things. Cost a fiver and worked OK for me.

My System: Dbox + Skystar2, 2.2m Kinhuge Dish with Inverto LNB and Invacom ADF-120 feedhorn. Pace 1.3.25 and 80cm for Sky. | Exeter is at about 3.5 degrees West, so with your dish at the 0 degree position set your reciever to recieve France 2 on 11590V 20000 2/3 (this is on Atlantic Bird at 5 West). Align the dish , peaking it up with the analogue meter. Give the dish a nudge a couple of degrees to the left (on the mounting). You may need to increase the elevation a touch so that 5W is still on the arc. With a bit of luck you should be able to send the dish around to 28.2 East and 30 West to tweak your alignment. | ||

My System: Technomate TMS-1500 CI+ "patched" receiver, 90cm p/f 36v motorised dish, Inverto C120 0.3db LNB, Moteck V-Box 2, Packard Bell 6052 XP Home computer, Toshiba A60 laptop, and lots of Russian Vodka ! |
It's the same one that I use and it does me alright, though I must admit I would prefer something more accurate when doing the finally positioning.

My System: Dbox + Skystar2, 2.2m Kinhuge Dish with Inverto LNB and Invacom ADF-120 feedhorn. Pace 1.3.25 and 80cm for Sky. | The main things to get right for a good installation are that the mounting pole is perfectly vertical, the dish is pointing in the right direction, and that the inclination/declination angles are set correctly. | ||
