Hi, appologies if this is in the wrong section.
I have spent hours today trying to align a dish to work with a Viasat HD PVR. I have been told a few different things about the alignment although all the research I have done would suggest I need to be on Astra 4A 4.8E. I have locked onto this satellite very quickly but the box just will not accept there is a signal. Another installer told me it's actually Sirius 5E but this sat is not on my Horizon HD-S2 meter.
What am I doing wrong? One thing I was not sure about is the default transponder which we had set to 11.747. I did try a few others from Lyngsat but the box would only recognise a signal quality of 6%!
There are some tall trees opposite so maybe if I do have the correct satellite theres just not enough signal coming through?
Many thanks
