[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 762581, member: 176362"] AFN is moving from 13E to 9E Fortunately 9E should be putting a reasonable signal into your area. The first thing to do is to mark all the bolts and swivel points on the AFN dish with indelible marker so if you get hopelessly lost you can reset back to your starting point easily :D Loosen the bolts off a little, then facing the dish swing the dish left about the width of the lnb (thats the bit at the dish focal point). And move it up a fraction - a couple of mm will be plenty to start with. That should put you in the right general area, although exactly how easy to find 9E will be depends a lot on how big the dish is. If its a monster then you will have problems - they really need to be set up by folk with meters and who have experience with big dishes. If / when you find it then you can peak up the signal with tiny movements of the dish. In a situation like this there are a couple of golden rules - give yourself plenty of time and [I]dont try to do it half an hour before the lads sit down to watch the big ball game!![/I] [/QUOTE]
