My System: 65cm dish for Sky+ linked to all rooms, all with own remote and magic eye. Second box in home office (no multi room subscription just use card from main box if needed) 3rd box in bedroom Freeview in other rooms. Free cable in dining room Two 53cm mi |
HI I have fitted my new dish but need some help with the LNB, the Holder on the dish is marked from -20 to +20. what do I line the LNB up with? On the mini dish the markings are from 1-4 and I think its on 2 or 3. Its for picking up Sky and I live in the East midlands. | ||

My System: Mostly gathering dust cos I'm a lazy git. Porty dish face blew off the mount, not too pleased... The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! | Just twist the LNB clockwise until you get the best signal quality on your box...

As for the dish's angle, erm, Ihaven't a clue myself but there are calculators out there, or you could use the old trial and error method...

Blog Entries: 3 My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum. | There are hundreds of posts on this forum regarding best ways of aligning dishes, no need to copy from another site. http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellit...stickies-faqs/ gives loads of information. PS. The wet towel alignment method is pretty much outdated now, as most digital receivers have strength and quality metres for adjustment. It used to be effective in the days of analogue pictures, as after roughly aligning the dish to obtain a good picture, you could attenuate the signal enough to cause a sparkly picture, then adjust further to fine tune and regain a clear picture.
