garysnooker:I have got a couple of questions I just brought a HUMAX FOXSAT ive got an old sky dish pointed at astra one I need to know when i install the new dish which way do i need to point it left or right and up and down as the HUMAX FOXSAT got a metering devise to test the strength of the signal so im can gauge which way to point the dish thanks gary As you look at the dish it will need to be swung further to the right but there is a lot more to it also. Have a look at this
thread, Alsone gave very consise and detailed instructions on dish set up, including a site that gives dish direction,elevation,LNB skew etc.
However, as your dish is aligned to ASTRA1 i'm assuming it was used in the old sky analogue day's if this is the case it may have an analogue LNB which will not work and will need to be changed for a modern universal/digital one,and if the dish is that old i'd change it anyway.
