[QUOTE="Brewski, post: 158303, member: 200319"] Apologies for the silence, following all your welcome advice.... Had a major issue with a ladder not being long enough, but managed to reach the LNB... the arm seemed quite loose! There was about 5 to 6 cm "play" (side to side) on the end of the arm... so I tightened it up (the bolts securing the arm to the back of the dish) and ... nothing... not even analogue. I then tried moving the alignment, very slightly, sideways until I obtained an analogue signal from 5w and then switched over to the digital, adjusting it slightly (sideways) until the signal quality got up to 0.1dB. Well. it's working!!! Am surprised how "fragile" the digital signal is, though - it is very susceptable to rain and wind - losing the signal quite easily... still a bit out of alignment, you think? Or do I still need to adjust the position of the LNB in terms of how close it is to the dish....? What about the dish elevation? Can anyone tell me where to find out at what angle of elevation the dish should be ? I live near Chichester, on the Hampshire / Sussex border... [/QUOTE]
