[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 802148, member: 323322"] Dishpointer is right! The actual Azimuth depends on your own location - if you lived at a longitude of around 28 degrees East of the Meridian, then to get Astra 2 you'd have to point the dish due South ie zero degrees (give or take the magnetic variables!!) Also, bear in mind that your dish has an LNB arm that is offset by about 25 deg, so your dish face should actually be set to 29.3 - 25 = 4.3 deg (don't worry about the precise figure, as you might have a couple of degrees error in the verticality of the mount and so need to "tweak" by experiment anyway) So, the dish face will be barely up from vertical [/QUOTE]
