LNB....skew should i go there....:-rofl2 only kidding rolf, not touching it :)

By the way and i'll post this here so those of you that have been of help get first pick. Free to anyone who's prepared to collect (woking, surrey) a Humax IRCI 5400 receiver (locked up during HOT update 18 months ago, never tried to unlock it) an infinity programmer, a titanium card. Any good...

What a nightmare it turned out to be....i'm very pleased i cracked it, wouldnt have done without everyones input. The set up guides make it sound sooo simple. Really isnt. Todays and yesterdays fiasco was caused by my meter, whilst finding Hotbird and 8 West the signal level on the 753 meter...

and ...... move to hotbird...yessss ! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):-WooHoo

GOT IT !!!!! Yessssss !!!!! at last.. 12607 digi 11403 lifestyle 11325 bbc 11166 gospel 11247 btv & vision norge thankyou, thankyou, thankyou..... roof bolts tighten quick

yep i'm back at 8 west....booger when i change the sat (with the motor turned off) to 8west i pick up the following 10972 France 24 & cnbc-us 11011 cnn 1256 jaras

O.K. bear with me... I have at the moment THOR and a strong signal 90+ percent on both level and signal. The transponder is 12643 V, 27500 KabelKiosk. Bit concerned that this really is Thor most other channels are incl BBC world service are bad signal.

NO luck tonight...i'll have another bash tomorrow daytime. Cheers peeps i'll keep you posted. I'm not going to let this beat me.

Thats the problem then...slacken off the brackets and the weight of the dish and motor causes the setup to tilt groundwords compounding the problem.....ok thankyou...roofbound again :)

INcrease or decrease the dish angle ? i assume increase ?

Hi Peeps ...missus has cleared off ;) I'm desperately trying to set this up properly....resetting the motor to the reference point. Then no matter how carefully i move it in either direction, using a meter i cant locate thor, i can locate 8 degrees / nilesat, but the damn thing will not locate...

same trouble with my 5400 signal level was 90% quality was 20%. Wasnt actually on any satellite at all.. solution was a cheap rangefinder meter

Some success...:) I have managed to locate Thor and from that i then found hotbird ! In case this helps others.... where i was going wrong The problems seem to originate from being 10 degrees out despite using a rangefinder compass. Subsequent difficulties arose from trying to rotate the...

I do have a meter, and i'll give that a go along with the jubilee clip trick, i thought the receiver was good enough for that, when i finish work i'll have another bash. There's a small pitched roof below so its just a case of climbing out the bedroom window.

I'm going to try the jubilee clip under the motor, which will make it easier / smoother to rotate the motor and dish around the pole. At least i haven't reduced you to hysterics over my installation / setup. :) Needs tidying up obviously and i'll do that once finished.
