Finally got all my sats back which i'm happy about  Had to chuck the dish another 1m up the wall and throw it out another 6" to clear the trees to the right of my house, so its all been worth it  Got 53e to 45w now  Thanks to Satelliteman for telling me how to manually program my new meter  I think i will be getting the meter sorted tomorrow to make sure i don't get stuck again, hence the meter pic showing Eutelsat w6  This is one of the strangest dishes i've ever motorised as it doesn't follow the rules on elevation. I had to set it about 10 degrees out to get it to follow the arc, very strange indeed. Just looking forward now for some testing on 23.5e & 7w  Nano | ||

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 | I put my penta up over the weekend (fixed on 5E) It seems to lean back a few degrees further than the old circular 80cm it replaced... Although as the old un was one of my salvage jobs that doesnt mean much - it had been bent double before I got my hands on it! | ||

 The EL scales should be spot for the FR Penta. Take the dish elevation calculation for the moteck's on due South for eg. being 22.5°, absolutely bang on.Your not far from me and would be interesting to see your results on 23.5e & 7w. All of 23.5e here anyhow on clear day | |||

 | It will be interesting to hear how this dish compares to your old 1M+ dish, at least the council can't do anything to you this time. By the way how is your nice neighbour, still complaining | ||
