[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 19739, member: 175057"] If you set your receiver on the transponder for BBC world, there is a FTA transmission that you can monitor. If you can first find Hotbird, then it only a relatively short upward and Westward movement of the dish to find thor. If you have an analogue receiver, you can first try and find 5W using one of the French analogue channels, it is then an even shorter sweep to find Thor. To find Due south with a compass, tie a piece of string to your dish mount, find South on the compass and extend the string out along the projected Sothern path, a piece of wood stuck in the ground will suffice, you will need to add a number of degrees to the compass reading to account for magnetic variation, I think 3 or 4 degrees west for London, but I'll have to sheck. There is a utility in the download section for so doing. [/QUOTE]
