[QUOTE="netwhizkid, post: 381977, member: 251470"] Hello, I am currently trying to align a satellite to Atlantic Bird 2 at 8°West and so far am having no luck. I have one dish already aligned to it it so reception of it is no problem where I live and there are no obstacles (eg. high trees) in the way either. I have entered three frequencies into my Satlook Micro+ (recent purchase) and am still having no luck. I updated the firmware etc but [url=www.emitor.se]emitor[/url] do not include the frequencies for it in their downloads unlike the likes of Horizon where you can download a frequency for every satellite available or write your own. I am able to pre-program frequencies into the Satlook Micro+ but this hasn’t helped. Two years ago I could pick up Telecom 2D as easily as Astra 28 °East with my yellow brick meter but Telecom 2D has since being retired except for feeds and Atlantic Bird 2 seems notoriously hard to hit. I am using an 80cms lidl Dish (last September special) and a 0.6dB dual feed LNB. Would any one have any pointers for me, I need to align the dish for a friend who lives in the middle of nowhere and wants to use it for SkyDSL one-way satellite internet as there is no DSL or wireless broadband available where he lives. Any advice or help would be majorly appreciated :) [/QUOTE]
