    Make sure the pole is plumb all around, send the dish to BBC world news on Thor and move the dish around until you pick it up.

    THE TRUTH
    The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12

    Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
    The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

        Assuming your dish and motor are set up correctly, Set the motor to zero, get a compass and poiint the dish due south . Loosen off the dish and motor and send the dish to Thor 1W BBC world news. If you haven't got a sat finder then Swivel the dish around the pole and move it up and down until you get something. This isn't as easy as it sounds but yu will get there in the end.

            Have you done what i said ? It's not locking because it needs to be tweaked to find the satellite. Have you had it working before ? what is your snr

                    You can find your lat and long settings by putting your postcode in, in multimap. Also have a quick look here m8 http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...81/#post216878

                        seems ok but you should really be seeing a pic. Check your lat and long are correct, though you may need to get up the ladder and move the dish a bit.
