[QUOTE="doesitmatter, post: 1129102, member: 417405"] Finally got it up after a long day searching for a scaffold pole, breaking some hacksaws and then burning my gloves with a newly purchased angle grinder. I think I'm a little lost on the alignment. I had Astra 2 perfectly but I moved the dish using the receiver (motorised) and then the channels went. Satellites were on the USALS setting (it is second hand kid), so I put in my co-ordinates in the position option (Technmate 5402) but that still didnt help and I couldnt save the tweaking 'west', which got me back on track. So I factory reset it (bad move, as the previous person had all the channels sorted) and switched to Disecq 1.2 and then I could save a position. However, I can't get any other Satellites, so I'm thinking my elevation is incorrect on the dish and after some reading I also need to reset the motor, which I'll do tomorrow morning. A serious learning experience but a fun one. Hopefully I can crack it before the other half comes home from her trip away. [/QUOTE]
