[QUOTE="mulls74, post: 91530, member: 175969"] I am looking for a bit of help with moving my dish. For a while, I have been getting 1W channels but it looks like those days may be over for a while. With this in mind, I am thinking of switching to an ART sub for my footballing needs. I have a fixed dish on a paving slab down the garden. It is a 90cm dish with invacom lnb which was getting all the Thor channels when I lived near London. I now live near Southport and it was still bringing in the strong Thor channels with 80% signal strength. I took the hugely scientific step of shoving the paving slab in the general direction of east and amazingly I managed to find Hotbird 13e with my first go. However, I am not sure how to do the fine tuning. With some channels, it picks up 50 per cent signal quality but for some others, including the ART ones, it is 20 per cent. I know they are encrypted so I can't watch at the moment anyway but the FTA channels around them freeze up when trying to watch. I have tried nudging the dish either way but 20 per cent quality is the best I can get. I know there are different elevations for different satellites and would appreciate some help about how to best set up my dish to maximize the Hotbird signal. Or am I mad to try this without professional assistance. Thanks [/QUOTE]
