[QUOTE="LoungeLizard, post: 534303, member: 294197"] Thank you, Rolf; I shall try this tomorrow. I've got a signal strength meter, a MODEL:4640 SAT Finder. The 'REC' and 'LNB' ends are clearly labelled, it's got a series of LEDs to indicate strength, and a -/+ screw adjuster. To use this, I'm guessing that I:- (1) Switch on Television, Receiver and 5V supply to Dish. (2) Connect Meter at any convenient point between the Dish and the Receiver with Sat. co-ax (in practice, this will be close to Dish!). (3) Line up the Dish to approximately the right direction. (4) Waggle the Dish's Elevation, Azimoth and Skew in turn; and fix at each maximum. (5) If I get no LEDs then turn up adjuster, if I get all LEDs then turn down adjuster. (6) Remove meter, reconnect, job done. Is that right / any further tips? [/QUOTE]
