[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 525439, member: 256551"] Don't worry mate. It seems difficult, but it isn't really:) When I first got my kit together I was a bit baffled at first, but once you have read the manual a few times and had chance to experiment a little, it gradually becomes clearer. Understand the basic principle of a motorised dish and everything else just follows. The basic principle is, the dish is mounted on a shaft which rotates on an axis aligned to the earths polar axis. The dish then has to be tilted down towards the satelltes which are approx 22,000 miles away above the equator. ( Imagine yourself standing at the north pole and being able to rotate on the spot, looking down you can see all the sats. Now move down a bit to say the UK and do the same, but now you can only see the sats on our side of the earth) :) [/QUOTE]
