[QUOTE="Topper, post: 127675, member: 186250"] The very first principle is to ensure that things are generally aligned i.e. if using a pole mount it must be vertical in all planes before you start. Second if setting up using 1deg W ensure that there are no obstructions to line of site of the satellite bearing in mind where the signal comes from for an offset dish as per previous picture. Then use somewhere like Lyngsat.com to select your details to set in your receiver for the sat you are using click [url="http://www.lyngsat.com/1west.html"]here[/url] select a transponder that is in the clear and is known to have a strong signal in your location. It does help if you can play with the orientation of the dish manually whilst having a visual of signal strength and quality. This was historically a lot easlier when setting up an analogue system. Good luck and don't give up on it cos you'll never live it down if the girls on the site find out that they can and you can't :P :P O-Ha Have a look at these sticky guides [url="http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=113"]here[/url] [/QUOTE]
