[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1082682, member: 176704"] [USER=414586]@robswfc46[/USER] That's "normal" for the Triax dishes! Actually, you've done pretty well so far to get 0.8W to 7E - but have you tried any sats to the West of 0.8W? If the motor is properly "zero'd" on 08.W then you should be able to pick up channeles on one of the Eutelsat 5 birds at 5W for a start. However, if you can't get 5W sats then the dish is probably not "zero'd" on 0.8W and is pointing very slightly to the East, and so you need to "jog" the motor[I] very[/I] slightly to the West on the pole.
