    Know what my problem is....the brackets are to far
    down the pole so the weight at the top with the dish
    is moving out of line. Nothing i can do except reduce the size of the dish or find a better place to site it so the brackets are closer to the top of the pole if you follow.

    When i check my pole its dead straight, when i send it
    to 28e or 30w it slouches to one side ever so slightly
    missing the sat.

    Got it set on 1w as my true south best signal i've
    ever had on it, then sent it to a few sats and it was missing them.

    I need 2 new 12" brackets now because i had a little
    accident and they got twisted like the hull of the titanic.

    Infact i've decided to get rid of it, i should have went for
    a 1m even a 95cm so anyone from Scotland want a swap
    a 1.1 for a 1 or 95cm pm me.

      your pole must be too thin guage mate you need to use a piece of scaffold pole as everything must be rigid if the pole flexes you are never going to get anywhere with it.
