[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 733651, member: 176256"] You could also try driving it what the receiver thinks is 28E and then try the "springing the dish" technique. This involves GENTLY pushing the LNB (on the end of the arm) up and then down slightly to see if you can get a signal in either temporary position. You can also go left and right a little bit to check that way as well. If you had a spare, genuine, $ly Digibox (or other receiver from $ly) you could connect it to the cable in place of your USALS receiver once the dish is driven to 28E. $ly receivers are pre-programmed to sniff out 28E without having to do any scanning of frequencies. If you were to then go into the setup screen you would see the signal strength and quality meters and see how they respond. There's a bit of a delay after every movement of the LNB so you would have to wait to see the result. There's also a music background which is very useful as you can hear it without having to look away from the LNB. Any chance of borrowing a Digibox? I used a Digibox and portable TV to set up satellite dishes for 28E for years. [/QUOTE]
