[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1031095, member: 176704"] @CH Thanks again, and Yes the TM is in USALS mode - but I will try it in DiSEqC 1.2 mode this evening and see if that makes a difference to whether the position found using the nudge function can be stored. Could I ask again about the subsidiary question that I asked in the last paragraph of my first post, i.e. [I]"... to what level of angular degree accuracy can you really expect to set the dish mount on the mounting pole (it seems to me that to get that down to even around 1 deg is very difficult and to get it any "closer" is verging on the "impossible" unless you have some means of making micro-adjustments)?[/I] So, what do you think is a "reasonable" accuracy to look for in the angle when I set up the "reference satellite" which is Thor @ 0.8W whereas our house is at 0.41W, and any tips/ideas on how to best align dish & mount (which probably weigh a total of around 20kg when mounted on the mast) because it is very difficult to turn the whole lot by minute amounts by hand (although I think I haven't done too bad a job so far)?
