[QUOTE="Mickha, post: 1157803, member: 187442"] In this latest photo that cable is way above the dish, I was concerned that the motor would contact that cable, going by the first photo. When aligning your dish, to 1W, first you need to move the motor/dish slightly, so that when your dish is aligned to 1W, the zero, on your motor, is pointing at your longitudal position, which I think was about 2 degrees East. Why did the installer take your V-Box II? Finding other satellites, using your receiver, can be made easier by using a cheap satellite meter. Most Meters have Rec, and LNB, on the meter, so that you know which cable connects to your receiver, and which end connects to your LNB. If you do this near your receiver, by making up a small cable, to connect to your receiver, and plugging the coax cable, from your dish, into the LNB end, then as you move the dish, using the satellite finder option, which is available on most receivers software, then as you gently move the dish, East, or West, you can check the signal strength, then when it peaks, scan in some channels and check on lyngsat, or other site, to confirm which satellite you're on, and store the position accordingly, on the V-Box II.
