[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 173577, member: 176362"] Im not motorised yet - My 13E dish bolted down HARD against the Scottish gales, so I cant check. It certainly is a starnge coincidence that your problems have started at the same time as a launch, but I make the points: Whilst Lyngsat isnt always up to date, the tracking info probably comes off tle (two line elements) data sets (available for almost all satellites) which is updated every couple of days. Unless Hotbird 2 has been shunted more than a degree away from the others, it shouldnt make any difference anyway - the acceptance angle / boresight for an average hobby sized dish is 2-3 degrees. If they were going to move any satellite - it would be more likely to be be Hottie 1 - thats the one being retired once 7A is operational. I'll keep an eye out for any references that one of the Hotties has been moved slightly. :) [/QUOTE]
