[QUOTE="Ken King, post: 924872, member: 404018"] many thanks all, as I said hopefully this information can help others, who go the wrong way like me. Captain Jack << Wow - I've never seen such a workaround before :) >> Well it was the only thing I could think of, and it may not be ideal but eventually got a result. <<There's your best clue - your dish is pointing too far east. You need to move your entire dish/motor assembly around the (vertical) pole to the west a few degrees to compensate. >> Now if I only I had known that earlier, I could have saved myself so many fun filled hours balanced on end of a ladder :-) I did post same symptoms in my first post, but obviously not succinct enough to highlight my issue. that jpeg you uploaded would have been damn useful if included in my motor's instructions, as I read my motor's instructions it just says point motor at true magnetic south.... william-1 << Your maximum arc will be 40 east to 70.5 west, Further west is over the horizon so no reception in Wales. >> Ta, useful to know [/QUOTE]
