[QUOTE="gameboy, post: 69807, member: 177511"] The dish is pointing exactly 19.2 deg East or you would not be getting the channels. He is probably getting South correct so that he can find 19.2E. South is the direction of the Clark belt where all the geostationary satellites live. Should be easy - to move dish loosen bolts and rotate. Don't adjust the tilt of the dish - just the rotation. A satellite meter will make the job easier but as you have a reference position that works (28.2E) try this. Before you start mark a line on the dish and mount so you know where 28.2E is, this will help you get it back if needed. Then tune in a strong transponder from 19.2 on your receiver and slowly move the dish round until you get the best signal. When you have it mark another line on the mount and dish so you can find it again if you move it back. Tighten the bolts and enjoy. [/QUOTE]
