[QUOTE="I_Just_want_to_know, post: 602684, member: 320516"] Thanks tom... I have more or less done all that... Tomorrow I shall drag the dish down, take the motor off.. double check how straight everything is.. I'll put the motor on again and see if that makes much difference... I'll then do my best with the dish.... Somethinf I'll also try is setting the motor to the box on a very short lead out of the bedroom window, it currently has something like 20m of cable running to the front room... and reading other posts, it seems that this could play a part.. (its at this point I wish the switch would power the line too, but unfortunatley not)... I'll be pi55ed off if it works on a short cable... as that means I'll then have to set it up on the TV in the back room, and thats not why I bought it all... are there no sort of cable amplifiers that might work in this situation, some way of remote/additional power? Also.. What is the ideal satellite I want to point at to set things up on?(I can see compass south fairly well)... I'm surrently setup to some dish, but god knows what, I'm just scanning one by one at the moment, scanned about 15 sats, got nothing so far :eek: Rob [/QUOTE]
