Hi I've had a look round the site but don't seem to be able to find the info I need ( or more to the point can understand lol ) I have a sky dish which was put up over a year ago it's been redundant from a week after I had Sky installed as I had nothing but trouble from them so cancelled my contract with them, although they came and took the box they left me with the dish, just recently I have decided to set up an old sky+ box in another room in my bungalow but I'm not getting a signal from my dish, I've had a friend test the cable for me which is fine, I bought a new lnb thinking it could have been bad but I'm still not getting a signal, I don't have a satellite finder but have tried using my iphone to align the dish, still nothing, I've googled the co ordinates and tried but as I live on my own I have to keep shinning up and down my step ladder to try all the different settings, anybody living in the Fareham area got any tips or a meter please

Use this site, put in your full address & post code and 28.2 in the other option, hit GO then check the elevation of the dish and look around at your neighbours dishes to see which direction, job done

Use the drop down arrow on the right of the 91WGalaxy17 and choose 28.2E astra
