When using the dish make sure the lnb is push forward to the dish as much as possible. Because them screenshots looked like it was too far away.

I good tip for aligning to astra 1 19e is put it on MTV Central and the meter will give you a rougth idea where the sat is the elevation I used was 31 degress now I get 80% on Astra 1 in yorkshire :)

It will vary, but if you push it too far forward, you may lose some of the dish catchment and with a small dish it can be critical.

Katie never reported back - pity.

First timers [ virgins ;) ] can easily become discouraged. A pity that someone living near to her couldn't do the usual checks like swapping dishes/stb's etc.

Reason for such a delayed post: new PC and lost old links and passwords - all sorted now :).

Nice offer, but 'Katie' last logged on 27th May this year - so you may not get a reply.
