[QUOTE="PoloMint, post: 43763, member: 175235"] Do you mean that you discovered that your dish is not pointing 28 deg east of south yet is receiving signals from 28e? The position of a satellite is its position above the equator, that is Astra2 is 28.2 deg east of south at the equator. So to receive the satellite the dish points at the spot 28e of south at the equator, which, in very few locations, will actually be 28e of south. To find the exact angle you should be pointing a dish download the SMW link from here [url]http://www.smw.se/smwlink/smwlink.htm[/url] and enter your long and lat and also the position of the satellite you want. You will then get the correct compass bearing and elevation, along with LNB skew. Also for Madrid 90cms is too small for BBC/ITV, check out [url]www.astra2d.co.uk[/url] and some of the other threads in this section for more information from people in your area. [/QUOTE]
