so finally, got all the kit including a compass and a sat meter.
taking the ladder out in the morning, and before anyone mention it, yes VERTICAL pole is my goal of the day. if it goes ok, might try to put the dish up as well.
Looking at _http://www.satellite-calculations.com/ for my long-lat there are too many numbers! My location is Lat: 53.55 Lon: -2.08
Can somebody calculate the figures I need for Thor(1w?), Hispasat and Astra19.2. ? I want to compare the figures with my own calculation to make sure I'm not barking up the wrong tree.
For THOR, roughly what should I set the motor elevation to, is it 53.5? and the setting on the dish? I realise these numbers are not enough and I will have to nudge it about a bit for better signal..
another question, where Can i get a working e129.sat file from? I can only see astra on my receiver, I tried to add other sats manually without success, also it will save time if i have to reset everything for any reason.
as always, many thanks in advance
regards

ps: will keep you posted with my progression (or lack of it)
