[QUOTE="Park Royal, post: 379779, member: 238513"] Hi signrik As you are in the UK (Lancs) you need to put in -3 (3 degrees west) for your longitude in the SMW link. That will give you an azimuth reading to hotbird of 160.48 and an elevation of 26.63. Azimuth reading is true and does not take into account that the compass points to magnetic north and not true north. The elevation reading is the actual elevation of the satellite, if you have an offset dish the offset angle will have to be deducted from the look angle to get the angle that the dish will be at, see pic.
