Well thanks guys for the last few posts. I managed to find a menu screen with the following options / information: Satellite: Astra 2A, B, 28.2E TP Index: 1/77 TP Frequency: 10729 MHz Symbol Rate: 22000 Ks/s Polarity: V Scan Mode: All Network Search: Off Signal Intensity: 57% Signal Quality...

How do I do that, bigtee? (or anyone)

Success!:) I adjusted the Satellite Dish to something closer to the other 2 on the building; and, after fine-tuning, found an even stronger signal on the meter. And, Hay Presto, I straight away got a good picture on the Television. I am very grateful for the comments on this thread, Thank...

I tried to upload the piccies direct but I got a 'security tag missing' or something message. There are 3 piccies, 1 is of the whole Television screen, 1 is of the Dish installation, 1 is of the view from the Dish (in case there are obstacles). Actually, looking at the photo of the Dish...

Thank you Park & rolf. Well I've had a good go at this with some success, got a good response on meter to adjusting Azimut & Elevation, though the Skew position didn't seem to affect the meter reading much! The Skew appears to have just 5 ganged positions. Unfortunately there's still no...

Thank you, Rolf; I shall try this tomorrow. I've got a signal strength meter, a MODEL:4640 SAT Finder. The 'REC' and 'LNB' ends are clearly labelled, it's got a series of LEDs to indicate strength, and a -/+ screw adjuster. To use this, I'm guessing that I:- (1) Switch on Television...

I'm trying to set the elevation on my Satellite Dish to 22.8 Degrees. Problem is that the scale on the adjustment arc goes from 20 to 90. 20 makes the dish point slightly downwards. 22.8 also makes the dish point slightly downwards.:confused: 40 makes the dish point straight ahead. 90 makes...

Once again, Thank you for help. I've had to suspend operations while I followed the advice on this thread and obtained a remote for my Receiver. I have now done this:), I bought one one e-bay but I had to buy the Receiver to go with it:-cry1. Also, my DVD Home Cinema System box(LG 5.1) has...

Hi! Some progress made, but no cigar - or picture, yet. My Satellite Dish is still not fine-tuned but looks identical to neighbours (professionally installed). The Satellite Dish is connected by that special black co-ax to the Skyline Digital Receiver DSR 4000, the connection is a screwed in...

Thank you 2cv & Robbo for your simple (but to me brilliant) answers! Phew! It hadn't occurred to me that the digital signal from terrestial broadcasters was different to the digital signal from satellites! I do have a Digital Satellite Receiver that came with the Dish: it's a Skyline DSR...

I'm trying to set up a simple Satellite Dish/Television system in Cheshire, UK. My Television is an LG 42LF66 (42" LCD) - only had it a few days. My Satellite Dish is a 60cm Skyline. It is mounted on a south-facing wall in a similar orientation to neighbours' Satellite Dishes (which work...
