[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 519362, member: 256551"] Hi, Not sure what channels you are after, but your 1.2m dish may be a bit on the small side to receiver the normal UK BBC, ITV etc channels as they are on Astra 2D, which is intended for the UK only. EDIT: (I take it that you are in Northern Italy judging by your dish elevation?, so you may be OK for 2D.) You shouldn't have a problem on the Astra 2A south beam though. Two channels for example that are on 2A are BBC News and Parliament, with a frequency of 11854H, symbol rate 27500 FEC 2/3. It is not normally possible to setup a dish by using the scales. It will need careful adjustment for maximum signal strength. How do you know the dish is pointing at 28E, if you have no signal? How did you align it to that? Robbo:) [/QUOTE]
