[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 30504, member: 176256"] That's the bit I don't understand. What were you trying to find on Astra 1? A digibox is very limited in its understanding of other signals; it only has 2 bit rates (27.5K & 22K) and you have to enter all the detailsby hand - it isn't possible to scan all frequencies. Anyway, that's irrelevant when you are on Astra 2. As you say, the moment you connect up an LNB it starts to show a signal level. You can use this signal level to help a bit while you try to home in Astra 2 and as soon as you get enough of a signal (this is the default frequency that you were talking about) you can then use the siganl quality to complete the process. This site [url]http://homepage.ntlworld.com/de.sullivan/#intro[/url] (which I found elsewhere on the board) should help you a lot. I found it very interesting and it matches my own experiences with aligning dishes in the UK and France. Yes, I think 1.35m will be enough also. PaulR [/QUOTE]
