Ok, thank you for your reply. Hypothetical question: Lets say i set up my dish and its working perfectly. So i take the azimuth and elevation readings from my dish and configure a friends dish with the exact same parameters. He bought the same dish. Can i assume that his dish will work? Dont...

So what you are telling me that there is not actual, measurable, specific way of installing a dish. I will have to do everything approximately and hope to get lucky? Depending on dish location, satellite, dish offset and any other relevant parameters, i cannot accurately find the correct...

Ok, please bear with me, because i am either not making myself clear, or i am asking something that is not applicable. Keep in mind i am new in this satellite game. Lets assume that i have my dish offset. I asked the company that makes my dish and they gave me the number. And i have also used...

The website you mention does not take into account the dish offset. Which i think is needed to calculate the correct elevation.

From what I could gather, in order to calculate the correct elevation of a satellite dish, I need to know the following parameters: Dish offset (how do I calculate this?) Coordinates of my position on earth Satellite coordinates From these three parameters I should be able to calculate my...

Should I select a specific transponder? So that I'll know that when I get a lock, it will be HotBird for sure? Also, the fact that I got a lock on this one, mean that I dont have to mess with the Up/Down adjustment again? Just Left/Right?

Well, I managed to get a lock...somewhere, but when I tell the dreambox to scan for channels it founds only 24. I know that it should be somewhere around the thousands :-ohcrap (see if you can spot the red baloon) :)

Thanks for your replies and suggestions. Here are both the sides of the mount

Hi everyone. I would like to introduce to you my satellite dish. It has been driving me crazy for days now! I live in Cyprus and I am trying to point it on HotBird. I have to configure a 43.76 Elevation, which as you can see, I did. As you can see, the building in red, is very helpful...

Two days ago I installed a small satellite dish on my roof. Since then, I have tried various ways of properly aligning it with Hot Bird 6/8/9 at 13.0°E. Closest I got to doing it is this. So I thought about buying one of these...
