[QUOTE="spludlow, post: 400712, member: 258989"] Dear Forum I have had a 120cm dish with a DisEqC motor installed by a local firm. My receiver is a Topfield TF7700HSCI, it has USALS. I live in Nottingham UK (53.0N, 1.2E). When I look at the footprint maps and dish size figures on Lyngsat should I be able to pick up what it suggests? Last night I was seeing how far east I could go I only managed to pick up anything up to 28.2E wasn’t getting any channels after that. If we take Intelsat 7/10 at 68.5E ([URL]http://www.lyngsat.com/intel68.html[/URL]) on the Africa & Europe beam ([URL]http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/maps/intel10_afreur.html[/URL]). Looks to me that dish size and footprint are fine. So why can’t I get it? Possibly a dish setup problem? Are there other factors? Also the mount is an L shape that points upward, it wobbles a lot, is this a problem? Cheers. [/QUOTE]
