[QUOTE="nathanvtr, post: 137967, member: 196862"] ok, basically at the moment only able to pick up 19.2 e astra which is what i looked for straight away as i had a rough idea where it was but not finding any other satellites i assume this can only be down to incorrect elevation and declination of my dish. I believe i've worked out the correct angle to be site lat 53 elev 37 dec 7.6 dish bracket angle 22.4 so will be moving dish first thing. The main query is which satellite should i look for to allow me to then easily find others after i locate it initally to get a good range throughout the spectrum. Also if i step out my back door and look my immediate left that is north direction just wondered where the 0 on my moteck 1.2 motor should be pointing as north is left at this point and east would be straight ahead which is where it is pointing if motor is reset to 0 deg and should my dish be mounted centrally in line with the 0. Sorry for so many q's but satellite system has been down a while now and terrestial is doing my head in big time. [/QUOTE]
