[QUOTE="Topper, post: 530247, member: 186250"] Welcome to the forum father ted Well you thought you had got away with it but you have not, back up those ladders right this minute... Oh OK then it has gone dark... good job you do not live in Iceland:) The reason you have only got 28.2 East is because you forgot to fit the motor:-rofl2:-rofl2:-rofl2 Oh Ok then, try to imagine an arc in the sky this arc runs from 60 East to 60 West approximately. Ok now as you are based in the UK Your due south satellite is more than likely 1 deg West or 5 Deg West, take your pick but 5 deg West probably is better for you, whichever you choose that is your due south satellite. Therefore the top of the arc of satellites that you can see is either one of the two. There having settled on either one or the other, within your stb that is your zero degrees, now you need to loosen the mast clamps and swing the whole motor assembly round to zero degrees and clamp it. That is the top of the arc where your lnb is vertical and any other position either side is lower as it is further around the arc. From then you should be able to use Disecq or Usals to move forward and find other satellites. [/QUOTE]
