[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 516342, member: 256551"] Hi, The metercould be broken, or it could be that you are not pointing the dish the right way. I suggest you try getting 19.2E again since you know roughly where it is and once you get a picture, turn the receiver off to connect the meter, turn it back on and test the meter. Does the meter have a gain contol on it, it should be turned so that the needle reaches half scale. Also worth rechecking the short lead between the meter and LNB, or use a premade one. Remember also that magnetic south is not the same as true south, when you come to the adjustments you are going to need to swivel the motor around the pole a bit to get a signal. Robbo:) [/QUOTE]
