[QUOTE="whatsthis, post: 136175, member: 192149"] When I did mine I quickly forgot about true south and magnetic south. and I don't have meters n bleepers. I cemented 2 four inch square posts into the ground and bolted a bracket to them for the motor to hang from. The motor comes set at 0°. Fix this to your bracket so that it is face about south. Fix the dish to the motor and set the elevation angle from the instruction book. Manually align the dish so its facing exactly the same way as the motor and tighten. Wire it up and send it to 13east. Then slightly undo the motor bolts and manually move the motor slightly until the signal is good. After tightening check other satellites. You shall need to play around with it and I'm not saying it's the most accurate but without paying for it to be set perfectly you can get most satellites. [/QUOTE]
