I just noticed the typo in the posting. I need to lower the dish elevation for 28.2E and raise the elevation for 30W.

After spending a few hours on Saturday morning following Rolfw's advice, I now have a full sweep from 30W to 28.2E so thank you Rolfw, for all the help. I probably need to do a small bit of fine tuning as the singal quality at 30W and 28.2E is slightly lower than the middle of the arc. To get...

I have also been having problems on 30W for a few days. I am running Hydra Zeus and the latest bundle from Mary, but no joy on Canal 18, Showtime Express etc. Is there any hope?
