[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 639359, member: 175057"] A small satellite meter will do, Manchester is only a degree further West than 1W, so if you can find the USALs or Gotox setting in your receiver, first enter your coordinates, then send the motor to reference/zero, after which you send the motor to 1W. Then as per the guide, go outside and move the whole assembly around to approximately 1W (you should be able to guess roughly where it is, as you already have found 28.2 East, then raise the dish elevation by a few degrees and see if you can find 1W. When you find a satellite, nip up the bolts and check on the BBC channel.:) Repeat until you find it. [/QUOTE]
