    the scale is not that accurate either will do but 55 and 36 are the closest. Just jet your dish pointing at true south turn slightly to the west(only 1 degree) put you box on bbc on 1w and move the elevation and lattitude on the dish till you get a good signal best to buy one of the cheap swinging arm meters like they have in maplins for about ?15.Then use the usals to try and follow other sat just tweaking it up and down till all the sats fall in
