Having problems this Sat just wondered if this is normal, this is my ref sat and find it hard to lock on to a signal im just using the signal meter on my receiver but not a flicker, dish pointing due south motor in line with dish etc, any help welcome, thanks.

are you sure your using a active txp when trying to get a signal lock?? try using 11.591.v. 20000. 2/3. this satellite has a very strong footprint and should be recievable on a 60cm dish in most parts of uk/eire. regards mdt
