Started from scratch and got a better signal off it.

What do you mean by RF cloud? The patch on the dish that the satellite will hit?

Brilliant. Thanks for the pic, will hit it again today if I get time and report back.

Thanks for the info. Will try and answer the questions. Set up is in Herts, Getting a huge signal and quality from Astra 1. Getting a huge signal and quality from Hotbird....so if it's way off as mentioned, why move it? The issue isn't with Hotbird. Am getting a picture off BBC HD on Astra 2...

It was an experiment. Will take it off, but alignment was done without it.

Here's some pictures. The one with the whole dish pictured is l-r Astra 2, Astra 1, Hotbird.

I can probably get one tomorrow. Where could I have gone wrong with the alignment, bearing in mind I've got Astra 1 and Hotbird in so massively?

Yep - done all the but to no avail. Have a look at the link - you'll see the bracket rises itself. Have tried it more/less left/right but to no avail. Wi=ondering if it's something specific to the dish design?

I've got it working at home on an old 80cm 'analogue' Sky dish so as far as I can see 80cm is absolutely fine. Maybe being in the SE help with that? So I don't think that's the problem.

I’ve set up fixed dishes many a time and have been helping a friend with his. It’s an 85cm (I think) dish and we’re looking to line up Astra 1, Astra 2 and Hotbird on it. The dish in question is an Inverto Multiconnect with the slim LNB’s. see here...

Ok. So there's nothing I can add to the TV (an external unit for example) to make the diseqc commands?

I 've got a panasonic tx-32lzd81 tv (freesat/freeview/other sat version) which does not come with diseqc, although it gives you the option to load channels from a number of satellites. Is there a unit I can buy which I can put in line somehow which will diseqc enable the tv so I can use it...

I might be missing the point here and confusing things so sorry if this is the case, but.... Isn't the next equaivalent for the TM 5000 the Next YE-7500, not 2000? I've got an ex TM5000 DAPCI which I converted to Next YE-7500 DAPCI and it's fantastic.

I seem to have the same problem (again) but i'm using an irdeto 2 cam. Just went off the other day, although I haven't given the chip a brisk rub with a cloth yet to see if that works.

I enjoyed it, and so did my kids, my wife and my Mum & Dad. So - a winner really!!!
