[QUOTE="theferengi, post: 35388, member: 177771"] Hi, Some 10 or so years ago I installed a 1.5 mtr IRTE Prime Focus Dish and it has been fine till a few days ago when we had a mini twister which has thrown the dish out of its original arc. It is linked to a Fortec Magic World Receiver and an 18" actuator on the Dish. It is locked onto a 5" Diameter pole set in concrete so that did not move, but I think the IRTE collar did hence it will not scan the Clarke Belt properly. It gets Hotbird and those near with no probs, but either end of the belt and 1west it does not see. What I need to do is reset it and this is my problem as I cannot find the settings for my location. Long/Lat are 52:10:45N [52.1791 and 1.17:55W [-1.2987] UK Grid Ref SP480536. What I need are the Elevation and Azimuth for I assume 1W to set the centre and then swing it East and the West to get other sats? The other problem is what is the magnetic variation or do I not need this? Any help that any one can give to get the dish up and running again would be appreciated. Many Thanks :confused: Peter:confused: [/QUOTE]
