[QUOTE="anonimity, post: 854322, member: 383668"] Hi all, I have a seemingly easy task. I want to realign my wall mounted sly dish from Hotbird 13E back to Astra 28.2E. A photo of the dish is included. [ATTACH]57464[/ATTACH] I also bought a satfinder to help me do it. What I have to do is turn the dish east to Astra and adjust the elevation a bit (lower it around 4 degrees according to dishpointer website). As you see in the photo there are two elevation screw marks (Hotbird, Astra) so I know more or less where to vertically place the dish. Same stands for the horizontal alignment by watching neighbours dishes. So, I set my tuner (vu+ solo) to BBC1 (tried also other free channels) on Astra and slightly turn the dish towards Astra. There is no signal indication whatsoever. Of course when I turn it back to Hotbird signal peaks ok. As you may imagine, after several tries I also manage to lose Hotbird signal. Now, the satfinder doesn't beep anywhere which I find strange. I am located in SE London and I start wondering whether the nice trees in front of the dish make my job hard. Have a look on the second pic to get an idea, I also mark the approximate satellite positions. [ATTACH]57461[/ATTACH] I know for a fact that there is Astra reception as I used to watch it on the past. Therefore, any help and encouragement will be much appreciated. I don't want to spend money on an installer again for such an easy task, as I did to switch from Astra to Hotbid. I was expecting the satfinder indicator to beep often as it happens with all the tutorial videos I've watched but apparently it's not the case. Do you think is a case of micro-tuning or I have to do something different due to the trees My LNB skew is set at 3. Thanks and sorry for the long post. [ATTACH]57463[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
