[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 93692, member: 176256"] Don't worry about the signal strength reading, this is fairly useless for alignment. Use the signal quality reading to get the dish spot on. With a 75cm dish you don't want to make the movements too coarse, also you have wait a few seconds before moving again as the quality reading takes time to show - if it's there at all of course! Once you get a reading of quality check the NetworkID is showing 0002. Anything else and it's not Astra 2 you've found, Usually it's Astra 1 that you find so move the dish a bit east and a touch lower if necessary. Just go out and try it! PaulR [/QUOTE]
