[QUOTE="Mickha, post: 77693, member: 187442"] Hi blackninja, depending on your location, you should only get the stronger satellites on 1 deg west using a 60 cm dish. The main problem in finding Thor is the elevation of your dish, most people forget to adjust the elevation sufficiently. I live in the North West of England and I require a 1.2m dish to pick up sub tv and the other weaker signals but used to pick up the stronger channels on my old 80cm dish. I found it easiest to use the old d2mac channel TV3, to locate the satellite, as this is only scrambled in d2mac and so you can see something instantly, I experienced all types of spurious readings with my signal meter and found it easiest just connecting up to an old portable B/W TV, and slowly moving my dish until I got a picture. For full channel information I find this web site helpful w w w.1-west.com best wishes Mickha [/QUOTE]
