[QUOTE="James Williamson, post: 1041252, member: 412110"] Hi, Many thanks for your replies, I actually bought the 110cm by accident, I wasn't really thinking how big it was. I've now got a 80cm dish which is manageable. Using an audible dish finder device and a compass I'm convinced I'm managed to find Astra 19.2 and the 5W satellite. The signal on my openbox shows this when I have it set for the 28.2E satellite but am pointing towards the 19E, I'm pretty sure this is correct as my compass tells me I'm looking directly at it and I remember reading somewhere that receivers don't know which satellite they're looking at when they're reporting signal strength/quality. [URL]https://photos.app.goo.gl/sXmyYmXhyZ2bmQCj1[/URL] However the signal bars totally drop when I change the openbox to the 2A satellite, the finder box is screaming at me and of course it shows full strength if the 28.E satellite is selected within Openbox. Do I need to do anything extra to the receiver when I change the satellite? Thanks, James [/QUOTE]
