[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 497660, member: 9512"] Well, fed up now. I left this for a while to see, if it was in the right direction the Sky box would pickup a signal, and been a bit busy. So today, I decided to try again. So using [URL="https://www.dishpointer.com/"]https://www.dishpointer.com/[/URL]. I got the elevation and angle the dish should be at. Had to twist the bracket a little to get the elevation to 23.7 deg, then set the angle to 142 degrees as per the specc on the website. Cut 4” off the end of the cables and fitted new F type plugs, done these before without issue. Centre core was nice and bright, outer was ok. Still no signal on the Sky box! 😫 [/QUOTE]
