[QUOTE="garym71, post: 437594, member: 262344"] OK, I think I'll do without the pre-programming option and buy a meter instead. Might also help if I ever need to align to a different satellite for any reason. I assume the type of meter you mean is one like the analogue SLX one below? [ATTACH]12798[/ATTACH] The equipment I'm actually planning on getting is below:- 1) Transparent 85cm Dish with Triax 20 Degree Multi LNB Bracket [ATTACH]12793[/ATTACH] 2) 2 x Single Output Titanium 0.2dB Universal LNB [ATTACH]12794[/ATTACH] 3) 1 x Quad Output Titanium 0.2dB Universal LNB [ATTACH]12795[/ATTACH] 4) 4-way DiSEqC Switch [ATTACH]12796[/ATTACH] 5) Technomate 77552 VA2CI Receiver [ATTACH]12797[/ATTACH] I also found the online Satellite Dish Pointer / Alignment calculator which should help me set the Elevation, Azimuth and LNB Skew, however the dish elevation for each of the three satellites is different for my location in the UK (???).
