[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1039866, member: 175144"] If you have a meter (even if it is cheap/cheerful) you will be able to fix the errors once you have moved to a permanent spot. Best thing is to unplug the receiver when you are looking at a particular strong channel of the Freesat position, that way the dish and receiver will power up once reconnected without moving. The markings under the motor will confirm you are pointing to 28East , if not then you have to start thinking about more major adjustments once you have moved the system to the new resting place. Have the meter connected inline outside and swing the dish around until you get the same type of signal strength, go inside than check you have the same channel just to be certain and then fine tune the bolts outside. The Technomate motor is a clone of a very good make from the far East and should provide full arc capability if you do the fine adjustments, but this is dependent on a more or less perfect vertical post and good north/south alignment. The rest is done with the 13mm bolts in front of the motor [/QUOTE]
