old sky settings

[bodserbrown]

I have an old sky dish from about 15 years ago on my wall. I have just returned to satellite from cable due to costs. I set up my new Freeview box on the old dish and it picked up a few foreign channels, but not the english FTA channels. Does anyone know what setting the old dish is pointing at now? I would like to know how much i have to move it to the new position to pick these up.
Any ideas?

reckon its pointing at 19.2.. only a bit of movement needed for 28.2 which is sky uk

thanks mate, will give it a go tomorrow. signal finder on screen said i had a fair signal for astra, so i knew it was not far off

astra is 19e where the old an@logue sly was , digital sly is on 28.2e with some freesat and maybe some scrambled etc on 28.5e too

and you will probably have to change the lnb to a universal lnb as well , or you wont get half the channels

that is assuming its an old dish with the old lnb pointed at 19e

easy enough to check by looking for something like dsf or similar
