Hi Colin,

Assume your referring to freesat. That will be Astra2 @ 28e.

My System: Triax 1.1m and Orbital 80cm Motorised Dishes. Various fixed Dishes. Eclectic selection of Digital and Analogue Receivers. Complex switching and distribution that SWMBO cannot fathom. Nor me.

Seems to be directly related to 12 volt comag portable satellite system

Dish face should be roughly vertical (Because the LNB arm is offset by roughly 22 degrees). You will need to adjust it a little though, to get best Quality.
