    Sky dish alignment

    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 Hidden Content ) 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
