[QUOTE="Red alert, post: 1087645, member: 414470"] Had another go at it and something in the setup is not right. I can pick up upto 23.5 east but anything beyond and no signal no matter how I move the dish. For example at 26 east i have tried lowering or raising the dish and no difference. Pushed the dish right and signal went up 2%. So i decided to nudge the mount a few mm left at 1 west. But going back to 26 east yielded the same result. The only way signal improves by about 3% at 26 east is turning lnb slightly anti clockwise. East/west pole is plumb. Does it matter what kind of spirit level is used on the pole? The digital level has a magnetic groove in it that sticks to pole and the other spirit level i have is flat on the side, just looking at bubble both show different results. One is more centre than the other. What kind of spirit level do you guys use? could the dish mount itself be an issue? I have to slightly turn lnb a few mm anti clockwise for it to appear more centre to the dish. I assume if i put the spirit level on the side of the dish mount at 0 position it should be dead level? There is a flaw somewhere, but I just dont see it. Close to giving up on this:confused. I have attached more photos to see if anyone can notice what may be wrong?
