[QUOTE="titty, post: 419526, member: 262656"] Hi there, thanks for the pointers, but still having no luck. Have put a long pole up now which is bang on 100% vertical. Checked it with 2 sprit levels! Have set the motor to 51.5, the dish angle to 22.5. Aligned dish/ lnb dead central to the motor. Bought a new lnb as well, and put this on. I don't have a sat meter, so i'm using the satfinder option on the Gemini image i'm using with my Dreambox, and simply toggling the satellite options to move the dish. I'm not sure if the preset settings (freq. inversion, symbol rate, polarity, FEC are important here, or i should be using the predefined transponder option?) Got Thor 1w locked on 92% snr, 0 BER, and when i toggle to Astra 4.8E, i can lock onto this at 81% SNR. Go further east to 13, no good, go back west to 4.0W no good! If i move the dish angle and rotate the motor i can get strong signals on 13, 19, & 28 without a problem. I was wondering whether the dish i have is suitable for a motorised system? Failing this, i guess i am off the arc for some reason, but i just can't figure out why 'O'-red Any more ideas guys? [/QUOTE]
