[QUOTE="JAYEDIN, post: 136465, member: 186099"] Rolf, You were right , OTV is a channel on 1 west. At least now I know where the dish is pointing to. The reason I believed I was pointing at 13 east is that in using the Manhatten plaza st500 - to align the dish using the following steps :- 1) In the channel scan I selected Hotbird 13 E satellite, tps1. 2) Then I set the channel scan on . 3) Outside I had set the dish elevation to 24 deg for Edinburgh. 4) Whilst the channel scan is ongoing I rotated the dish in azimuth until I got a 70% signal indication on the Receiver meter on the TV. It seems that even although the Rx box has satellite names setup in it there is no means of associating that with the channels been searched - but it certainly is not very amenable to helping with dish alignment. If only each defined Sat in the Receiver had a default FTA channel in channel number 1 then things would be so much easier to setup. I'll let you know how I get on at the weekend. [/QUOTE]
