[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 1074477, member: 323322"] Well, that's it ...... accurate alignment onto the arc. Needles in a 3-D haystack! The Installer you've got coming should sort you out quick-smart as you've obviously done all the mechanical work. Pay close attention to how he does it, so you can make any future changes yourself. Interposing a motor can cause problems as people often use the wrong scale on the motor bracket (There's usually one marked Latitude and one marked Elevation). The Motor needs to be directly set to your Latitude, on the Latitude scale, and the dish bracket needs to be set to around 24 deg. Alignment is achieved by swivelling the entire Motor/Dish assembly around the pole to establish Azimuth, and by minutely adjusting the dish bracket (not the motor bracket) to establish Elevation. All to be done, if possible, on Thor, and with the LNB on zero skew. [/QUOTE]
