[QUOTE="Simba27, post: 62562, member: 182734"] Don't worry about losing your good signal - if you found it once then you can find it again. The more you practice, the more proficient you will become. I had the same problem at first. It's just a matter of persevering with it. Do the initial alignment on a satellite that's close to due south from you (Thor?). Then try to find a satellite that's near the bottom of the arc (Hispasat? / Hellas Sat?) and make fine adjustments. The arc that your dish follows across the sky is cutting through the arc of the satellites, but is not identical to it. You can't be too far away though. It could be that your motor is a little bit east and low, or west and high. Or your latitude setting might need a little tweak to steepen or flatten the arc. The only way to know for sure is to keep trying. [/QUOTE]
