[QUOTE="Mickha, post: 865599, member: 187442"] Hi vee-six, have you used a satellite meter before? Cheap satellite meters are designed to give a signal, even if not pointing at a satellite. You turn the signal meter knob until it reads half way, about 5, you then gently move the dish to get it to go up to 10, at this point you then turn the knob again, decreasing the meters sensitivity, until back at 5. Adjust the dish again, to get it to 10, then decrease the sensitivity, again, and adjust the dish. You keep doing this until you get the strongest signal you can, by gently moving the dish East/West, then tilting it Up/Down. Once done scan in some channels and check what satellite you are pointing at, using lyngsat, kingofsat or flysat. Or post them on the forum and someone should identify them for you. [/QUOTE]
