[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 1041247, member: 176362"] The bast thing to do for beginners is to "hop" round the arc one satellite at at time from a known starting point. 28E - 23E - 19E - 13E - 9E - 5E - 1W - 5W. Each jump will be about the width of the head of a standard lnb, so if you go well past that sort of distance you need to back up and start from the last locked signal. Alternatively the sun is due south at noon. On a sunny morning set the sun so the reflection off the dish is shining on the lnb cap. This time of year its very close to the satellite arc so go westwards the width of the lnb cap or so and you should be pretty close to 5W. Good luck & please let us know how you get on :) [/QUOTE]
