[QUOTE="sonnetpete, post: 699602, member: 310216"] Well........ I do sympathise with the problem of working at height. Luckily I can access my set up from the middle of an old two section loft ladder. I would seriously consider using the meter to try and sort out your motorised dish. However, blowing up your thumbnail on screen and applying a straight edge to the pole I would say it's pointing about 3-4° downwards, at the very least. You can compensate for this by decreasing your latitude settings on the motor (and therefore pointing the motor slightly more upwards), though I am loathe to suggest this if you can get hold of a more suitable pole. You could also try resiting the T bracket up a bit towards the eaves so it provides more support. I have used a needle and tone meter to set up all my progressively larger and more complex systems, it is relatively easy but requires time and patience. When I first started I used a really thin 90° angle wall mount and it gave me no end of grief because it wasn't up to the job of carrying the motor and dish. So, it's definitely a good idea to upgrade that pole. Good luck, persistence pays in the end!! [/QUOTE]
