[QUOTE="Ian In Barcelona, post: 120610, member: 194167"] Hi all, I'm Ian and I'm in Barcelona I'm also a bit clueless – sorry, but thought it best to clear that up from the start. Err ahem, anyway. I want to set up a dish and a kaon digital receiver I've got – I'm recently divorced and many years ago I set it up with a friend (who knew how to do it and has since moved away) and an analogue receiver – I replaced it with a newer digital one, which was easy enough as things were already aligned. I want to get Eutelsat/hotbird (doubling up and getting astra would be nice too, nut not a huge priority) I see it's '13º east' – sorry for the dumb question, but does that mean on a compass 13º after where the east thingy is marked.... or 13 after North, going east (someone told me this but it doesn't seem to make sense in relation to how it was set up before)... What I want to know – in layman's (read 'for dummies') terms is 1) by the compass what direction I need to point it in 2) what azimut (that's the up and down thing right? :-) is correct in Barcelona, or at least somewhere close to get an idea? – I remember it was off the generic 45º, but I don't remember if it was a bit up or a bit down [/QUOTE]
