[QUOTE="davemurgtroyd, post: 936257, member: 319227"] No they are the longitude at the equator over which the satellites are in geo stationary orbit. Your statement of 140 to 150 degrees bearing is way too broad and could cover any of around 10 different satellite orbital positions in that general direction. Alignment has to be less than 2 degress out to even obtain a lockable signal. Forget even attempting to align using a compass - try [URL]http://www.dishpointer.com/[/URL] - input your postcode, change satellite and zoom in, move icon to where your dish is loacted on your property and you should be able to find local landmarks (corners of buildings, sheds etc) to align your dish on.
