[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 517272, member: 256551"] The smaller the dish, the more chance you have to align it by luck, although I have aligned my 1.1m like that once. But really, you have to be methodical in your approach. Set the elevation about right, then slowly sweep the dish from one side to the other. If you get nothing, alter the dish elevation and repeat. Once you get a signal lock of any sort, do a quick scan and see what channels you get, then check what sat you are on, using Lyngsat. If you still get nothing, there is either a fault somewhere, or you are pointing completely the wrong way. Robbo:) [/QUOTE]
