[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 865566, member: 176362"] Dish alignment has to be spot on - within a couple of degrees horizontally [I]and[/I] vertically before you will get a signal. Have a look at the dishpointer website and drag the cursor over to your house - that will give you a good idea of where the dish needs to be pointing for any particular satellite. [url]http://www.dishpointer.com/[/url] Start with one of the easy to get ones - Astra 2 Astra 3 Astra 1 & Hotbird (28E, 23.5E, 19E & 13E respectively). The dish face needs to be almost vertical. Move the dish slowly a couple of mm at a time and sweep the dish over the area where you think there should be a signal. Take your time, and try to have a couple of hours when you wont be called away. Sooner or later you will find a signal of some sort. Once you have identified the satellite then you can think about finding others. Most of all though - dont get disheartened if you cant find anything to begin with - theres plenty of help here on the forum from friendly folk who are willing to help. [/QUOTE]
