[QUOTE="Offtensive, post: 1115668, member: 416667"] I have spoken too soon about the dish tracking the arc perfectly. I did a blind scan on 16e and realised that I am getting hotbird channels, and some 19.2e channels appeared when the motor was at '21.2e'. :eek: So now I have an undershoot rather than an overshoot as earlier. I'll try and resolve this when I upgrade the dish. The arc tracking is better than before, as I wasn’t getting any trasnsponders on 28e, but there is work for me to do. :( I tried the larger dish again today, using the smaller dish as a marker for thor, still nothing. Unfortunately I think I need to admit defeat with that max digital dish for the time being. On a side note, I did find an old Technomate 1m dish on eBay this morning that had the same dish-to-pole bracket as the maxx digital dish; given they've got a few bad reviews, I'm not too surprised with the outcome with this one. I might go ahead and set up the other dish I was planning into in the next few weeks or so, I've been on the look out for some cheap paint, would the below work?
