[QUOTE="Mickha, post: 79760, member: 187442"] Hi georgia_grrl, I found your other thread, on this subject, last night and read through it with some interest. When I first started I was also close to conceding defeat, as I couldn't locate 1 deg west manually, and I was using a sat meter, but apparently not a very good one !!! I thought my receiver was faulty, the LNB even the wire, finally I decided to go back to basics, retrieved my old analogue receiver, an old b/w portable from the attic, set it up with coax cable and power extension, so that it was near the dish, and tried to tune in to the free german analogue stations on Astra 19.2 deg east, and got a picture. What I had wrong was the dish elevation, with it being an offset it had to be practically vertical. When I knew everything was working I tuned the old analogue receiver to TV3, a d2mac channel on Thor 1 deg west and slowly moved the dish to the left, as I was facing it, after gently tilting the dish back and pointing it in the right direction, I got the familiar waves of the d2mac channel, connected up my analogue receiver and found a picture on BBC World news, I then just gently nuidged the dish until I got the strongest signal and tightened everything up. Providing you can see a clear line of sight, from your dish site, then you should be able to pick up the satellite, depending on your location and dish size. For information on the frequencies of Thor please visit: [color=#22229c][color=black]_http://www.1-west.com/[/color][/color] [color=black]For other satellites please visit:[/color] [color=black][font=Times New Roman][size=3]_http://www.lyngsat.com/[/size][/font][/color] Hopefully you'll have it sorted soon. Merry Christmas Mickha [/QUOTE]
