[QUOTE="digdog, post: 366265, member: 175295"] At this time of year if your dish is in direct sunlight from sunrise to sunset you have a clear view of the Clarke Belt. If you have then assuming mounting pole is vertical it might pay to check motor angle is correct per your manual and then play with dish angle for best results on something fairly close to due South - for you for starters this looks like 5e. When you have max quality on this one you might have better luck with 1w - not that there is much available there at the mo though! Sounds as tho your arc is out - so checking the basics looks like a good starting point! Skew at 0 should be OK - your motor will automatically tilt dish and lnb to something like the ideal as it swings east or west... :) :) [/QUOTE]
