[QUOTE="damhy, post: 58891, member: 181680"] Astra 1? I guess you are meaning Astra 1B/C/E/F/G/H/2C at 19.2E, if not what I am going to say will still apply. Most groups of satellites are relatively strong signals so the method I use is to simply tune in the receiver to a channel on that satellite. On a digital receiver like I have it is not quite the same if you dont have any channels stored, on my receiver I can go in to the manual tuning settings and it gives a signal level for a given transponder. May sure that the transponder has something on it, say by looking at [url="http://www.lyngsat.com/"]www.lyngsat.com[/url] then move the dish around whilst watching the TV, in my case by looking through the bedroom window. If you are looking for 19.2E can you see any body that has an old Sky dish, not a mini dish, if so this will probably be aligned there and so you can look at theirs to get a rough idea of what direction to point the dish. Once you have a signal even a very weak one, move the dish left and right until it is at its highest level, bolt it down, then move it up and down again until you get the strongest level.
