[QUOTE="sonnetpete, post: 737984, member: 310216"] Right, from pictures 2 & 3 I'd say the pole is definitely not vertical. You have a level on the top of the pole which isn't really telling you much. It needs to be checked on the side of the pole itself , I.E. facing the garage wall and then at 90° to that. Can you tell us which satellite the dish is pointing at in picture 3? I'd say that the house facing the dish may be causing a problem, which possibly could be cured by raising the dish/motor up the pole by 6" or so. In picture 5, your latitude is incorrectly set on the motor (you have a missing bolt too which won't help in a high wind) It looks as though you have it set at 54° when for Bristol it should be lower at 51.5°. If you get the pole dead vertical and the motor latitude adjusted it may help a lot. Obviously, you will have to peak up the dish itself after doing the first two tasks. Try and stick with it, patience and thoroughness pay dividends. [/QUOTE]
