IF you make large movements, you can miss the signal every time. Make a pencil mark on the pole where your dish is mounted, across from the dish mount to the pole, and make it thin. As you twist the dish, you can see just how far you [B]really[/B] moved each time by looking at that line. Don't forget as you move from east to west, etc. you MUST [I]raise[/I] or [I]lower[/I] your dish depending on which way you are following the arc. TRUE SOUTH is your highest dish aim point. Either East or West from there you have to slightly lower the dish for each satellite you aim at, the Earth is basically "round" and the satellites follow that above the equator, satellite "arc". You also must manually skew your lnb depending on your location and the particular satellite you are trying to get. [/QUOTE]
