[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 637286, member: 175057"] Well if you use the rough direction guide from Dishpointer.com, get yourself a little satbeeper meter, I work out that your elevation should be around 35 degrees for Hotbird, so the dish face will be tilted back by less than 10 degrees (the dish elevation is offset, the LNB points up to the centre of the dish by 26 degrees or so). The satbeeper will rise in pitch instantly as you find a satellite, then you can check with the satellite receiver to see if it is hotbird. You'll need to have the dish clamped on a tripod or similar, as you need to be able to keep it very still while you scan for channels. [/QUOTE]
