[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 465411, member: 256551"] @ scansat and Oilsun, I have just spent about 15 mins trying to get 26E on my 90cm dish from Kent in the UK. I managed to get it without too much of a problem by manual adjustment on a fixed dish. First I adjusted the dish for 28.2E and got a signal on there using a cheapo sat finder meter. Then I wacked it WEST a bit, and changed satellite to 26E and looked on 11785V. I then adjusted the elevataion up a tad, and tweaked the azimuth for best signal on the sat finder. I then did a scan of that satellite and got some channels from 26E, including 'Future TV USA'. When using the sat finder, rather than looking for a peak, I flexed the dish up and down and left and right to make sure the signal level went down as I did so. What I found was, it was very tempting to end up lined up to 28.2E again, but by focussing on 11785V, and trying to get a good quality reading on that transponder, I was able not to succumb to it. Hope this helps. Robbo :) Edit: By the way here is a picture of my 'lash up' [ATTACH]13762[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
