[QUOTE="Lord Minty, post: 167293, member: 197725"] Last week when the weather was a bit better (so I could have the patio door open!) and I had day off work to do something else, I tried to play with my dish & receiver again as I want to know roughly the arc the dish will have if/when I motorise it before I mount it on the wall of the house. Anyway, With the dish on it's supplied floor stand I can get 28.2E virtually without trying! But if I try to find anything else I just can't! I made up a cardboard protractor as a guide but can I find 13E or anything else? Can I heck :mad: I just want to know I'm not doing anything really stupid - I've got print outs for the various sats of the elevations for my location and it's spot on for 28E. Can anyone give me any pointers, e.g. how far would you expect my LNB arm to move (90cm dish) to go from 28.2E to 13E as an example? I'm sure once I get the general idea I'll find the rest, but it's driving me nuts at the moment! Thanks :) [/QUOTE]
