[QUOTE="sonnetpete, post: 699558, member: 310216"] I've only a couple of comments. I used to have a TD88 and found the elevation scale to be less than accurate, so setting it to what the manual says may not be spot on. Are you using any kind of meter to achieve your alignment or shinning on and off the roof to check the readings on the receiver? I'd recommend trying a needle and tone meter initially, just to prove you are roughly correct when you finally hit your due South sat. Oh, one other thing. Does the setup absolutely have to be so far above the eaves? Maybe it's the angle of the photo but it looks like the weight of the motor and dish is bending the pole away from vertical. I'd check that the pole is plumb before trying any other adjustments, or lowering the set up a bit, unless you have an line of sight issue. [/QUOTE]
