[QUOTE="Ian_ExManchester, post: 58942, member: 176178"] thanks for your positive help.......not !!!!!! After looking at various websites I have found if I want to point my dish at 28.2E at my location (53.539N, -2.142), Id have to conform to the following - Dish Azimuth (relative to true north) - 143.95 Dish Azimuth (relative to mag north) - 148.68 Dish Elevation - 22.89 degrees Slant range - 39276.49 Polorisation tilt -20.47 deg Polar mount main axis angle - 54.21 degrees Polar mount dish offset tilt - 6.95 deg Noe the thing is - i HAVENT GOT A CLUE HOW TO PUT THINGS RIGHT. I rang up TPS satellites in Ashton and he said it could cost me anything between 100-200 to sort things out. When I said that I suspect that its an alignment issue , he said "maybe £80". I would like to try myself before I resort to paying someone else but I dont know where to start - if you look at the photos below - [url]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5715797016&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT[/url] there a few bolts that can be adjusted - which ones should I fiddle with and which ones not. Failing that - is there anyone in the Manchester area that could help me and not charge so much for their time. Thanks [/QUOTE]
