After reading most posts on setting up satallite dish, I went and bought a full setup. I got the TM 5400 usb 1m dish and motor. Just put the thing on the wall, got a few issues ie dont think pole is as plumb as it should be. Got Thor perfect but others are iffy so back up the ladder today to investigate. Once that is done more reading needed.

OOOps
Can someone move post to Technomate

lol as glen says its a learning curve.............but the most important thing you can do is get the pole plumb all the way around it as it wont follow the arc if its slightly out m8.

well done on taking the plunhge m8 you wont be disappointed once you got it going m8

have you patched it?

most of them are available bar the likes of nilesat (7w) which you need about a 4 meter dish to recieve
