[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 973639, member: 243342"] Uhmm, OK need help. Installed the dish today but having some issues... So, I followed [url=http://www.satlex.de/en/wavefrontier_calc-params.html?satlo_east=42.0&user_satlo_east=&user_satlo_east_dir=E&satlo_west=-1.0&user_satlo_west=&user_satlo_west_dir=E&location=51.45%2C-2.58&la=51.45&lo=-2.58&country_code=uk]this site[/url] to calculate the skew angle, which is around 105 degrees and set about aligning to my central satellite, which is 19.2e (want to get between 42e and 1w). The LNB is on the centre of the bar (ish) and is the 'skew' on the LNB holder is set to 0. I am getting pretty good signal on Astra 1 at around 16dB (though, not as strong as I expect) but this drops off nicely to around the edges. I can just about lock 42E at around 8db but I cannot lock 5E Nordic, which is hanging at 6dB and 1W Nordic beam is also under lock (Focus Sat one should be OK though). Am I expecting too much from around the edges or is there some trick to this? [/QUOTE]
