[QUOTE="damhy, post: 58636, member: 181680"] I agree USALS is so much easier, if you dont know your position then go to [url="http://www.multimap.co.uk/"]http://www.multimap.co.uk/[/url] and put in your postcode, it'll give you the coordinates underneath the map in the map information box lat/lon. I dont know how you got your dish aligned but this is how i did it. Chose a satellite close to due south, say Thor 2/3 or Sirius 1/2, then set the receiver to that satellite so the motor moves a bit and lets you know that it thinks it's in the right position, which it will be if your coordinates are correct, then adjust the motor position outside with a spanner, not on the receiver, and not the dish on the motor either; you want to move the whole dish and motor assembly round until it aligns with the correct satellite. Providing USALS is set right, and you found the correct sat, then it should now be aligned with everything. Well thats how I did mine anyway. Diseqc from what I can tell is a bit more hit and miss, which is why i never used it. [/QUOTE]
