[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 106193, member: 176912"] I'd advise reading a good dish setup FAQ from the relevant section here. It's the hardest thing to accomplish when you don't understand what you're doing, and the easiest thing when you do. Hotbird will probably be a little bit higher in the sky than Astra. Either punch your postcode into streetmap.co.uk, and use the convert link under the resulting map, or substitute your 6-digit OS grid ref XXXXXX,YYYYYY into... _http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?GridConvert?name=XXXXXX,YYYYYY&type=OSGrid ...to get your Lat and Long. These form the basis for your dish setup geometry. Assuming that there is a sensitivity control on your meter, you should set the the needle to half way, then max the signal by adjusting the dish, then reset to half way, then adjust the dish etc. etc. until you are all maxed out. :D Ooops, sorry Llew, I obviously type slower than you...
