[QUOTE="Mickha, post: 1033532, member: 187442"] Use USALS, this works automatically, working out where to move the dish, once set up, from your location, Latitude, and Longitude. Set the motor position to 0, and LNB to 0, then connect your motor to your receiver, enter your latitude, and longitude, and use the receiver to send the motor to 0.8W, the satellite you're going to use to align your dish. Providing your bracket is plumb, and secure, you shouldn't have too many problems. Just connect the meter, to the LNB, it will be marked, on the meter, which conection goes to your LNB, and which to your receiver. At this point you might want to run a cable directly from the LNB, to your receiver and find a satellite, before re-connecting your mot to the system. Use the meter, as described above, to get the strongest possible signal, first by moving East/West, then by adjust the declination. Try dishpointer.com, to get a rough idea where you need to point your dish. Type in your postcode, select Intelsat 0.8W, from the satellite drop down box, then zoom in on the map and move the green icon to where you dish is positioned and check where the green line is pointing.
