[QUOTE="alterego, post: 143678, member: 195245"] The best method I found was from the stickies. First calculate the real azimuth of 1W from your location. ( I used the excellent free prog from [URL="http://www.al-soft.com/saa/satinfo.shtml"]http://www.al-soft.com/saa/satinfo.shtml[/URL], For me it's 2.86E). Zero the motor once you have the pole vertical, then drive the motor from the receiver to move the dish to this calculated angle. Then move the dish motor on the mast without changing the motor setting till you find Thor, using the BBC World Transponder. Maximise the signal, clamp it all up, and you're away. All the others then slotted in fine, though the signal strength on the Western ones went up when I replaced the old Sky LNB with one set to zero skew. [/QUOTE]
