[QUOTE="a33, post: 1118014, member: 332642"] It is a fixed setup, I suppose, so not a motorized setup? Is the line of sight towards the satellite still OK? (Or was that already checked, I didn't read all back.) I'd first check the correct azimuth, with the sun method. For that I'd use [URL="https://www.satellite-calculations.com/Satellite/lookangles.htm"]Satellite Look Angle Calculator[/URL] (fill in LAT and LONG, date you want, satelliteposition you want, and look for "Time when Sun Azimuth equals Satellite azimuth".) Check that LNB is in fact left/right-wise exactly at the center of the dish, put a string or some tape from LNB to top of dish, and look at the indicated minute if the shadow of the string/tape is exactly at the center line of the dish. If not, correct the azimuth. Do you, by chance, have a satellite finder/satellite beeper? They are cheap, and I think even a hobbyist should have one.... Greetz, A33 [/QUOTE]
