    Dish alignment - signal disappears

    Probably doesn't sound silly because I would have no idea, I think because the receiver was already set up in the shop, all the channels are programmed in there (with right frequency etc) but I just get a black screen, even though sometimes I have 80% quality....ok channels......update...

    Dish alignment - signal disappears

    Thanks for the reply, but if I adjust those two things, won't I screw up the reception on other satellites?

    Dish alignment - signal disappears

    Dish alignment - signal disappears

    Hi guys, if someone could give me a hand I would be most grateful.....it's amazing how stressful it can be to get this dish in the right direction! Ok, so I am trying to hook up to THOR satellite first (I have a Disecq1.2 motor) so I am swivelling whole unit around on mast trying to get BBC...
