      If the pole is not 100% plumb all round it will not track the arc correctly.

        hook your box up to the router and download the latesed "motor" channel settings directly to the box from the downloads section on your image via the red or blue button. which image you using?

              Not set up correct, no channel list/motor settings will correct that. Use dishpointer. com to set dish up.
              Set up on 1 west or 5e .
              1 west bbc world is good.
              Loosen dish
              send to 1 west
              manually tune dish to bbcworld
              tighten up
              all others should be ok then.

              Remember pole must be plumb.

              Usals is best.

                  If I remember correctly some things can be abit off in Belfast... if its Thor1W your trying for then try going to 0.8W instead
