[QUOTE="benidormgary, post: 365875, member: 196164"] Hello,Jon. If you havent much experience,setting your dish up with just a Sky box can be difficult,but not impossible-,its much easier with a FTA receiver!. The easiest way is to find out your location co-ordinates(in your case,48.05N,8.43E,and use this info to find out when the sun is in line with the chosen satellite and your dish-,and,secondly, the elevation of your dish. For Astra2(28.2E)-the time tomorrow,(and for the next 2 or three days or so) will be approx 11.17 am. Elevation 31.5 degrees. For Astra1(19.2E)-the time will be 11.52am(approx). Elevation 33.8 degrees. So,if you can set up the direction at these times,and your dish has elevation settings-it should be "all systems go"!. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
