[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 137976, member: 175057"] Your closest Due South satellite is Thor at 1W, there is a sticky thread at the top of this section which outlines the basics of setting up a motorised dish, it can be done by using 13 East, but it is not as precise and not the recommended way (unless of course you either live at that longitude, or you cannot phisically see your due South satellite). Thor is easy to find if you set the correct transponder, again there is a list in the sticky threads, this will define the top of your arc correctly and really does make life very easy once found. The biggest and oft' repeated mistake which people make, is to start fiddling about with driving the motor, before they have completed the basic setup step. [/QUOTE]
