[QUOTE="Simba27, post: 80129, member: 182734"] May I suggest that you simplify the problem a bit. Forget about angles and calculations for the time being. First, take the motor out of the equation, fix the dish directly to the pole. Get a satellite meter, point the dish in approximately the right direction and then move it very slowly by hand to see if you can find any signal. If so then see if you can get a picture. If you do get a picture then try to identify the channels and figure out which satellite you have found. If you get that far then you know that you have a clear view of at least one satellite, and that the LNB and decoder work. Then, try to find your south satellite. When you have a better idea of where the dish should be pointing, put the motor back up and have a go at aligning it. [/QUOTE]
