[QUOTE="T_G, post: 29335, member: 175083"] Hehe Rolf, to "loint a smaller dish" is probably too technical for most of us mortals (-|-) . I wondered what the meaning of it was and came to the conclusion (after I did not find a meaning to this word on my online encyclopedia) that it is one of those fashionable composite words. So I figure loint could be a combination of "Loin" and "Joint", that method will probably result in a lock on one of those Dutch mature content chanels. Alternatively it could mean "Lather" & "Ointment", but that takes us even futher away from the topic.... Anyway, I have to agree: The best way is to get another dish and get it pointed to say Astra 19 (where all the German free stuff is). Once you get the position of this, you know you have to go 9 degrees further east and slightly lower. When I installed my second dish, I had the other one on the roof. So I used a string and lay it on the grass aligned with the dish on the roof, and used a long stick next to it aligned 9 deg. east. Then it was down to small movements until I got the signal. Most important is to get within a few degrees to the right position and play around with it. From my experience it does not take too long, just a bit of patience. [/QUOTE]
