[QUOTE="dieselnutjob, post: 685772, member: 320055"] I had to go up on the roof again because I couldn't get any channels. Turns out that a bit of lead stuff had slipped off the roof and was binding with the dish on one extreme of movement. I guess it had thrown it out a bit. Anyway I moved the lead and took a bit more care to calibrate it this time (moved the dish into a place that the signal quality drops if I slightly push it in any direction). I now get a solid 90% strength and 70 to 74% quality depending on the satellite. Also I took some pictures whilst I was up there as I though it might help anyone else that wants to put up one of these Fortec Star motorised 90cm dishes. Obviously my settings are only valid for London latitude I suppose. You can see from the first pic that the dish has to be angled down a bit compared with the motor output shaft which looks a bit odd to me but that's what seems to work. [/QUOTE]
