[QUOTE="mick2me, post: 134177, member: 195090"] Still struggling with motor setup here. Whilst not yet able to input THOR 1W into my receiver (THORis due south of me) In order to setup the motor. (Was told by the seller to set it up on Hotbird?) I had a brainwave... 4w amos is programmed in to the box, but how to find it? The stronges siginal I get is from ASTRA28e. So set the dish motor to 28e, manually move the whole setup to best signal for ASTRA28, then turn the motor till it registers 4W, then again move the whole setup till I get the best signal from the now known location of 4W. At this time my motor must be pointing due south??? Well after completing this and locking off the motor. I moved the motor till it read 28E again. In theory I should be spot on ASTRA28E, Well not quite. I got a weaker signal for ASTRA28? I assumed setting up on 4w was close enough to 1w not to matter? Where am I going wrong? [/QUOTE]
