[QUOTE="tomthebomb1968, post: 509677, member: 280905"] Dont take this as absolute fact as I am new to this and as you can see have some issues with my own setup, but i think its this. Your motor when at o degrees has your dish at its highest elevation. If your longtitude was closest to 16 degrees then that is where you line up the motor as 0degrees. In the Uk 0.8 Thor is closesest so that is where your dish needs to be to follow the arc of the satellites. If you line up 16 as your motors 0degrees then you will get a great signal but when the motor moves to another sat it is not at the correct elevation to receive the signals. I used Atlantic Bird3 at 5degrees as my longtitude is 5.9degrees, ie the highest satellite in the sky at my location, yours is thor 1 west. Hope that sort of makes sense to you. lol [/QUOTE]
