[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 865586, member: 176362"] Ah here we go - made by forum member Robbo a few years ago :) I can see round to 57E here, then a hill gets in the way As you can see the satellites are set along an inverted arc with the highest point at local south (1W near enough in most of the UK) So as you track along the arc from one satellite to another you need to move the lnb up and down as well as sideways. One tip - when you find a signal - mark the dish bolts & mounts up with black indelible marker, tippex or similar Then if you get hopelessly lost you can quickly reset and start again. It also saves a lot of aggro if the dish gets knocked by the dog, blown round the mount, the kids fall over it, etc! [ATTACH=full]60282[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
