[QUOTE="kozak, post: 392238, member: 257159"] Hello I have a problem with Alignment of Silvercrest Camp Satellite dish. I bought Suitcase System (60 cm dish, receiver, compass satellite finder etc) for 99 euro from Lidl on Sat 19/05/07 (returned for unknown reason). Dish mounted in a southern facing direction on window sill inside the apartment (1st floor). I cannot have a satellite dish attached to the externals of the building. I’ve followed instructions in the manual - used the satellite finder (floating compass, very basic!) supplied by Silvercrest to find the position of the Astra satellite 19E and aligned the dish to this position. However, the message on the screen is “No signal found” as signal strength is only 11%. Signal strength may improve to 14% max when I try to re-align the dish. The same story for Astra 28E, Hotbird 13E, HispanSat 30W. I’ve read forums on this issue (for example [URL="http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showt...p?t=2054982781"][COLOR=#0000ff]http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showt...p?t=2054982781[/COLOR][/URL]) so I realise that dish alignment is not easy but still can be done. Line of sight from my apt to the south is obstructed by number of 4-5 story buildings approx 40-45 meters south of my apt. Apt is in South Dublin , Ireland Any advise on dish alignment ? I know that proper satellite finder may help but I’m not sure if its worth spending more money on this project taking into account that there is no clear line of sight to south. Thanks [/QUOTE]
