[QUOTE="pat_mustard, post: 852124, member: 401173"] Hi everyone. My first post on here. I have decided to dust off my dreambox clone. I have a motorized dish which I installed a couple of years ago. When I initially installed I didn't quite do it right. Consequently I had to manually find the locations for each of the satellites I wanted to view and store there positions. Today I finally got around to setting up the dish properly. I installed a fresh image on my reviver so that I could use the USALS positioning and not my stored locations before. I got a weak(ish) signal on the sat meter when looking for Thor 0.8w. I was unable though to get my receiver to lock onto any of the Thor Transponders. However when I moved the dish it went to Astra 1, Astra 2, Hotbird, Hispa sat, the receiver locked on perfectly first time. I am able to view channels on all these sats without any manual tweaking of the motors position. There is a large, tall tree some 50m(ish) from the dish in the line of sight. Im not sure if thats what is preventing me from getting 0.8w or not giving that I am able to get the other satellites without any manual tweaking of the position. Is the line of sight from that particular sat lower than for other sats or something?? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
