[QUOTE="bmitie, post: 1157687, member: 353447"] Ok read the lot so got a full grasp. I take it you cant stand on flat roof but if you could would be helpful. 15 years is a long time. Could be time for a new LNB!! What receiver are you using? The idea of motorised is to do 0.8w to the max, tighten up and try each sat on EAST and WEST. I have a Triax 1.1M a dark motor, and DUO2 and OpenVix Image 6.4 to drive the dish, with a black ultra LNB QUAD and very good cable. 16 years and I did change lnb once. My method was to use a receiver that gave signal via scart and a portable TV. Would sit on roof and tune in to 2 channels on 0.8W as above. Get the highest possible signal and I would move dish side to side, ie loose on motor. BUT I have to admit everything was plumb from the outset and even put level on bracket bolts. I followed the 3 dots ie aim like a gun, here is a pic and I would would move lnb in and out to get exact focal length. Took about 3 hours for the lot. The dish on the stub can be offline ever so slightly and difficult to spot. At the moment I get 100 on galaxy and 95 on Aljazeera. I'm at 8 west near Atlantic. You can tweak USALS from the receiver but you cant save the settings, say box and image and I can guide you. You can step the dish/motor and if signal goes up etc. Here is a pic of my LNB and note this is at correct focal length. Say channel on 16e that you want and I'll check. Needless to say I'm not busy today!! [/QUOTE]
