[QUOTE="robbieb43, post: 393605, member: 177908"] Yes the old LH used to give me 45W-42E in comfort, but the design of the Triax (and it is real Triax part, not one of the dodgly clones also on the market) is such that once you fix the lever arm to the dish it can't manage more than about 30 degrees one way and as many as you want the other. So If you want to mount it correctly from a declination and inclination point of view, you are stuck with about a 70 degree ARC. The jack snagging on the wall made this even worse, but this just my difficult siting, not a problem I can blame them for however. I did think I could take a hacksaw to it and do some modding but I decided better of it. I was suprised I must say but I followed the instructions to the letter and cross checked it with pictures. My installer also could not see a way round it :confused:. [/QUOTE]
