Already done that but if I change longitude to improve these satellites others go worse. Just thought I could disable Usals on individual satellites. Thanks again

stick to usuals and check your mount id perfectly vertical both ways

you should not need diseq if its set up correkt

I will do that I installed the dish myself 2 years ago the recent high winds might have disturbed it. will have to wait for a better day though.

I have looked at my dish the mount is absolutely vertical checked with a very high quality Johnson angle locator. I think my arc is a bit off satellites at the extremities lose a small amount of signal, When the dish is peaked at Thor 1w, 30w benefits by nudging east while 30e improves by nudging west. I overcame this on my old box by adjusting the satellite degrees in the menu I can't seem to do that on my new box.

I will have a go at this when I manage to pluck up courage.

Thanks for your help

Finally got my dish setup correctly after hours upon hours spread over a full weekend and a couple of afternoons, a good meter would have helped but made do with a cheap one that I bought years ago. Think I might get a better one (or get the experts in) if I need to do this again as I found it really frustrating having to keep nipping in and out of the house to check signal strength.

Thanks for your help

Can now start exploring what this box can do.
