[QUOTE="s*t*a*r*m*a*n, post: 67344, member: 175004"] another point. If you where to use a sat meter anyway, the location of your dish on that pole would make it awkward as you need to really be next to the dish while adjusting, i assume you have the right ladders :D the dish could quite easily be at ground level as long as there is nothing obstructing the signal from the sat to the dish like a building or tree etc. bbc world at 1 west is an excellent choice or try lyngsat.com for more free to air channels if required. why can you not fix it to the house? incidentally a spirit level is essential for a motorised system as the pole needs to be aligned symetricallly to the ground, completely straight or the arc will be out and you may find 1 west but when you move the dish most satellites will be lost and you will never find them because the dish will not be hittting the signal on them correctly IF THE POLE is not STRAIGHT=use Spirit level and a cheap sat finder will do wonders for your sanity, i know cause i was in your position a few years back, oh and make sure when all is working that the dish is secure because i have did all that only to have the damn thing fall off the house lol :D [/QUOTE]
