[QUOTE="rpmnz, post: 187454, member: 57498"] I used a compass for direction and adjusted the LNB as directed by the shop where I bought it. For elevation I didnt have an inclinometer so I had to use the eye-ometer matching teo the neighbours dish :ooops: . But that was just to get a basic signal. If i move the dish more than a few degrees in either elevation or direction the signal degrades drastically so I assumed I had it aligned in the center. To refine the alignment I moved it left until the signal dropped off then back to the right until it started dropping off. My assumption was that at the point just before it drops off after moving it right to the is the correct alignment. I repeated the exercise except using up and down for elevation. Could I have made a basic error with the LNB, or aligned with reflection???? At this point I'm over my head. I can't see the signal meter from the dish but had my partner intercommed on the telephone while see watched it, so as good as. I have used good quality cable and have a signal booster about 1 meter from the dish as the cable run is about 15-20 meters. I just noticed that you mention your signal is very strong , I get 75% + signal strength but the quality is as above. Cheers Ryan [/QUOTE]
