[QUOTE="Man on the steps, post: 1081495, member: 414352"] I then wanted to try get the Ku band dish on 4.8 moved to 7E. So, we added a TP to the sat receiver, with the idea we could search. A clue was found. When you put the cable into the sat receiver, to the dish locked onto 4.8E, u get a beeping sound and a C/N ratio. Changing the sat receiver satellite to 7E .. u lose the beeping sound and the C/N ratio. So, clearly both the 4.8 dish is not on 7E, and the C-band dish is not pointed properly at 68.5E. (My son on the roof couldnt find 7E. but his patience was limited) I am not sure what to do about the tilt for the C-band dish. Should I add or subtract 0.3 (the angle of the grey base) from 59.1 ? and then move the dish side to side to try find it ? (It may be the grey base isn't flat as its not bolted in fully) I am not sure the arms holding the LNB are the right length. I dont understand what his piece of paper is saying. The arms are .. 124mm from scaler ring to bolt. He now says it doesn't matter if the LNB is square to the ground, just has to be as far at it will go. [/QUOTE]
