[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 426080, member: 256551"] The trouble is, the football is not all on one satellite. Not into football myself, but DigitalB supersports I think its called, seems to be mentioned a lot. Check out the other threads in this section. DigitalB is on 16E and depending on UK location needs an 80-100cm dish. I have also seen English football on Premiere Sports Portal 19.2E and some football on D+ 19.2 E. (patched receiver), I know nothing about football, so I couldnt tell you what quality the games were. To re-align the dish on a budget, a cheap "satellite finder" can be used, I prefer the needle type, others prefer the beepers. These are <£10 You can also use the receiver's signal meter, which will enable you to work out which sat you are on. and yes, there are professional meters too, but they are a lot more costly, but not normally necessary for a one off re-alignment. If you carefully mark the dishes position on the bracketry (indelible pen), if you muck up the re-alignment, it should be easy to get it back. To go from Hotbird 13E to 16E, you would need to rotate the dish by a very small amount to the left (from behind dish) and down by an even smaller amount, as those sats are right next to each other with nothing in between.
