[QUOTE="A nonymous, post: 952474, member: 240839"] Ahhh you never said it ws a motorised setup :-doh To be honest when i have to sort that sort of issue out i always start from scratch again. I send the motor to 1w and then completely re-allign again on 1w (my nearest southern sat) as if its a new setup. Make sure the dish is central on the motor shaft and that the iclination of the motor is as it should be otherwise the dish won't follow the arc. Just a word of advice though, if you are where your profile suggests i.e in Liverpool, 4w is your most southern sat not 1w. Liverpool co-ordinates = 53.4000° N, [B]3.0000° W[/B] 4w is a no go with an 80cm dish so line up on 5w as thats the strongest southern satellite that your dish will pick up on from your location. Its also really strong in the UK, a lot stronger than 1w. If it was myself i would use the sat meter on your receiver through the TV, it will be more acurate than one of those Konig beeper things. Your lnb is probably still ok but as advised earlier if its allowing water ingress i would replace it sooner rather than later as if its got water going into it, its only a matter of time before it packs up. Changing it whilst your working on the dish would make aa lot more sence. Nano [/QUOTE]
