[URL="http://www.satcure.co.uk/pdfs/satcure_usals3.pdf"]www.satcure.co.uk/pdfs/satcure_usals3.pdf[/URL] . If you only want a fixed dish, with 1 lnb, for 1 satellite, then just work out very roughly where the sat should be - using one of the web "calucuators" - aim the dish roughly, then find the actual signal using a "sat bleeper". For a fixed dish with monobloc twin horn lnb (for Hotbird/Astra1 combined), it's much the same, except there's a built in diseqc switch. Once either lnb horn is positioned - on the correct satellite - the other should automatically be ok. For a fixed dish with 3 lnbs on a bracket (Astra2/Astra1/Hotbird), things get a bit more fiddly, you might then want a "Digisat Pro".
