[QUOTE="GJ89, post: 742755, member: 360984"] Just come back, and wow, it actually worked! I've only tested getting to 16E now but the peaks for Astra 1 in signal strength have convinced me it'll be no problem getting there either... it still requires fine tuning but as it's getting dark I've decided to postpone that to tomorrow :) I'll put on another pic of the current latitude in a moment (damn hard to adjust). It seems I've been a bit of an ass, as the dish was very loosely adjusted to the motor, it's solid as a rock now. The LNB was not 100% right, not like it matters much it seems, but it's been adjusted. Due to it all being attached like a polyester sweater it nearly collapsed yesterday so it required me to completely switch all sides again. Used USALS 5.9E directing to 4.8E afterwards to locate Astra 4A. The transponders is indeed a thing I walk into, but lately I've been selecting those beforehand, taking notice of the fact the transponder might be active on multiple satellites, and if they have channels that I usually watch. Thank you all for your input and I'll share the new latitude photo tomorrow for your approval :) [/QUOTE]
