[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1043722, member: 369937"] Are you using the 3W satellite for setting the dish due South? If so then don't, the dish needs to be setup to geographic due South first, (180 degrees true from your location) then you find your closest bird to due South of your longitudinal position, this would be your starting satellite or "0" in the starting line up. As the satellite numbering system starts on the prime meridian as 0 then 3 W will be 3 degrees West of that line, this satellite may or may-not be exactly due South of your location, once the dish is properly aligned to geographic South then all the birds in the birds in the arc called the Clark belt should fall into line. This can be tested by looking for the furthest West and furthest East bird [U]view-able and receivable[/U] from your location. (satellites with transponders receivable by your satellite receiver) [/QUOTE]
