I have done this now, i was reading it wrong, lol.
My pole is vertical by checking with a spirit level and i have set the DM8000 up at 0.8w and locked onto the satellite. I am receiving a SNR of 74-75%, is this low or ok? I then move the dish to 28.2E and i get 85%, but when i move to the west i dont seem to be getting very good signals from the sats. I am still learning with the Dreambox as it is my 1st box other than a sky one.
