[QUOTE="gameboy, post: 78479, member: 177511"] All the dishes in Europe face South and your current satellite at 7 deg East is 7 deg East of the South direction (if you understand). So 1 deg West is only 8 deg away - to the right. This is a small adjustment - try tuning your receiver to one of the freee-to-air channels at 1 West and then rotate your dish slightly right. Before you do this mark on your dish the present rotation and elevation with marker line that won't wash off. This makes it easier to put back if things don't go as planned! Do the adjustment slowly as the digital signal may take a few seconds to lock. Better still if you have a satellite meter. Remember to only rotate the dish, don't move it up or down. Once you have a signal you could try a slight adjustment to get the strongest reception possible. Again before you do all this make sure you don't have anything in the way a 1 West (buildings, trees). Good luck. [/QUOTE]
