[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 845380, member: 323322"] Therein is one of the problems >> Trying to point roughly in the direction of a neighbour's dish is not useful as not only can you not gauge parallax, perspective and all those other big words, but adjacent Satellites are only approx. 3 degrees apart, which translates to not a lot of movement of your Dish. Try the Dishpointer App instead as it at least looks from your own perspective. As for the Meter, do double check the connections especially between the Meter and LNB as they normally come supplied with a flimsy short cable which can easily fail to connect properly to the LNB - Then you'll get a constant unvarying indication purely because of power from the Receiver. If in doubt, simply remove the Meter and use the box alone, remembering it doesn't react instantly. [/QUOTE]
