[QUOTE="GotMyBusPass, post: 42878"] Set my dish up today at a slightly different location . At the weekend I dropped a 3meter scaffold pole into a hole at the front corner of my garage, used a couple of cut down "T & K" brackets to hold it to the wall and poured concrete into the hole and left 3 days to set. Today pointed my dish and motor towards the sun at 1pm, nipped up the bolts, drove to 28east and got a signal, drove to 1west and maximised signal. Drove to 42east and 43west, 80+ quality and strength on strongest TP's on both those birds, tightened all up. Now can access satellites from 53east to 58west. Remember your pole must be "dead plumb" in all directions, and when searching for a signal, just a small movement then let your receiver try for a lock before you carry out another small movement. Inclinometer, forget about it, £2.99 spirit level from Aldi is what I use. GMBP:) BTW I'm at 52.1N & 1.1E [/QUOTE]
