[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 524103, member: 256551"] Hi, Is this problem just for Hotbird, or can you not get any other satellites either? Obviously the dish has to be precisely aligned to the satellite, using the azimuth and elevation figures you have posted as a starting point. These are the only two figures you have to worry about too much. The azimuth is shown on the picture, i.e point your dish following the line. The elevation should be set on the back of the dish. Adjustments can then follow to find a signal. The Skew can be set to start off with by just twisting the LNB a touch clockwise (2 mins past the hour) (looking at dish face). But the skew is not critical as long as it is roughly right it'll do. What procedure have you been following to get the dish aligned properly? Do you have access to a Sky dish that is already set up to check your equipment on? Also have you selected th ecorrect part of the monoblock? and chosen the appropriate Diseqc setting in the receiver. You can check which one is active by placing your hand over it, as it will block any signals. Robbo:) [/QUOTE]
