[QUOTE="George T, post: 993277, member: 407041"] Sorry, the other satellite I'm getting signal strength from is 23.5E (Astra 1) - nothing on 19.2. The non-motorized dish (an older larger format one) and single LNB came in a FortecStar package bought from Maplins a number of years ago. I set the dish up whilst perched outside on the porch roof with the actual Passion HD receiver and a small Sony TV using a short length of cable, whilst talking to the FortecStar tech people on a mobile phone and adjusting the dish - it was they who told me that the location angles quoted are not based on magnetic North (which was where I was originally going wrong when first installing). I'll have to get a photo of the external installation tomorrow, in daylight. I have, however, whilst trailing through the forums, found info on Channel 5HD going "free" and its transponder details. I added this to my list of transponders and, hey presto, I can now receive Channel 5HD. Maybe I'll have to manually add everything else? All I would need then, is the list of transponders required for UK Free HD channels. Regards. [/QUOTE]
