    new dish

    hope everyone is well,been a long time since i posted on here
    thought it was about time i replaced my ageing 80cm mesh dish,so purchased a no name brand 90cm solid dish,having some right grief trying to line it all up.due to an ever growin tree can no longer get 0.8w or 5.w so is there an alternative sat i can use to line up my dish with the arc,based in walsall west midlands
    as always
    thanks for any help

    Food Network is a FTA channel at 1.9E (12456H 30000 2/3) and booms in strong in West Mids

    If you mount dish correctly on your USALS motor you can align dish and motor south with compass, with approx correct elevation on dish, then drive dish to any desired satellite (preferably strong signal initially to locate easy) and twist motor on it's pole east and west until you locate your desired sat. Works for me anyway.

    If you cant get 1.9e try 4.8e 11766.00 H DVB-S2 8PSK 27500 2/3(channels 2+2/1+1) or 3.1e 11679 H5000 (ifilm)its not the strongest but it's there
