[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1143821, member: 369937"] OK, from what I see in your photos, the dish mounting pole is not vertical, it musy be as true to vertical as possible North to South, East to West, that bubble in the level is touching to one side of the lines. Now did you first align the dish and motor (motor at zero) to due South? If not then your going to be off the arc, this is important, I entered your location you posted in dishpointer, it came up with this info for alignment to [B]DUE South[/B]. You can zoom in and look at the location close up, you can move the marker to where the dish is actually mounted, it will give you a line pointing to due South [ATTACH type="full"]148042[/ATTACH] Once this is done you can set the dish/motor elevation on the dish to 30.7 degree, then move the motor to the closest satellite to due South from your location, this would be .8 W Thor7, the transponders on that satellite are all scrambled, but you should get a signal indication on TP12149 V. Once this is done you should not have any problems finding the satellites you want. [/QUOTE]
