[QUOTE="Timerman, post: 173952, member: 210473"] Polorization is where the dish is twisted slightly to the left or right Basically to install the Dish you need a Vertical pole, otherwise the dish settings need to be altered to compensate, attach your dish securely pointing in the general direction of the satellite you require reception from, tighten all brackets so they are reasonably tight but still allow movement. Now connect your Sat Finder Meter, move your dish left to right gently to locate the signal, once located and your getting a strong signal move dish gently in an up and down motion to see if you can get signal strength stronger, once you have the strongest signal tighten all bolts fully, now gently ease LNB or Dish clockwise or anti clockwise to see if signal is improved, if it is then adjust accordingly and tighten LNB or Dish. Your are looking mainly for a reflected signal from your dish onto your LNB You need the Height up / down The whole Dish Left / Right Then polarization which on a large dish with the LNB supported by 3 arms holding LNB across centre of dish, the polarization is gained by rotating the LNB left or right. If its a Sky Digital Dish the polarisation should be ok but the use of a sat finder meter although not essential, would definitely help you get the best possible signal, bear in mind that just being 2mm off line with the satelitte in Bath could finally be pointing 200 miles away from the satellite in Space [/QUOTE]
