              If you don't want it to be fixed to 28.2 you've purchased the wrong dish.

              Best bet is a zone 2 dish with monoblock for 13e and 19.2

                      Sorry then!

                      28.2 is easy enough, just look where other dishes beside you are pointed. and use a cheap sat meter.

                                  you could.... but to be honest unless you could see the tv screen yourself it would be next to impossible and would really test your patience..... i would advise you to get a cheap inline meter to help you peak the dish. you should be able to get one for under a tenner.

                                          just googled cheap satellite meter and one came up on amazon.co.uk and there is a satellite finder kit there for ?10.05 but you should be able to get one in any good tv shop. have a look on google and you will know what your looking for. you connect it out by the dish with a fly lead which will prob come with the meter
