[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 392183, member: 256551"] If you are already aligned to 28.2E it is very easy to re-align to 19.2E. The use of a sat finder meter makes life a bit easier but you can use the receiver's signal strength and quality readings. When using the Sat meter, slowly swivel your dish towards due south until you find a peak. With a minidish this will probably be Astra1 cluster. Then tweak the elevation up a little to maximise the level on the sat finder. To use the meter you should follow its instructions and you are looking for changes in signal strength rather that absolute levels. Then by using you receiver you will be able to check whether you are in fact on the correct satellite, this can be done by scanning a tp and seeing what channels come up on that tp and checking them against the list on lyngsat.com. You can also use the receiver's signal quality meter to further fine tune you dish alignment. The procedure for Hotbird is the same except that its a bit further round and the elevation will need tweaking up a bit more. [/QUOTE]
