[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 167101, member: 175057"] Right, the sat meter will only tell you that you have found a satellite, not which one. Forget Hotbird, manually drve the motor to 1 degree East on the motor body and then concentrate on finding Thor 1 degree W, that will give you the highest point in the arc. You will need to adjust the elevation of the dish to peak it and of course move the whole motor assembly on the pole. I am assuming that you have correctly set the latitude/elevation on the motor body. [/QUOTE]
