[QUOTE="satpippa, post: 1041333, member: 412107"] Hi, thanks to all of you for the good advice. I finally made some progress: I spent good part of the morning searching for Astra 1 (19.2E) without success, I then tried to look for Astra 2 (28.2E) and finally found it. From there I played with the LNB on the other side of the triax multi bliock arm and and was able to get a fix on Hotbird (13°). Here are some pics and considerations: The Triax multi LNB block arm: [ATTACH]114903[/ATTACH] Screenshot of GPS assist on android (phone on dish LNB arm) [ATTACH]114904[/ATTACH] Screenshot of Sat Director on Android (phone on dish LNB arm) [ATTACH]114905[/ATTACH] Not sure why but to get a signal I had to increase the angle to what on my Triax sat scale says is 32° rather than the 25° advised by Dishpointer for my location [ATTACH]114906[/ATTACH] Astra2 signal from Satlink meter [ATTACH]114907[/ATTACH] Hotbird signal from Satlink meter [ATTACH]114908[/ATTACH] The Astra 2 signal is ok but the Hotbird seems a bit weak. Do you think I should keep fiddling with the whole thing, maybe keep looking for Astra 1 and see if I get better results, or be satisfied? [/QUOTE]
