    this is the degrees like angles you did in school. Theres 360 degrees in a circle so this is split into east and west which is 90 in each direction (because were on the northern hemisphere). 28 east is the sky uk satalite dish while 19.2 is germany / france depending on what channels you want you need to move your dish by 9 degrees (this is quite small) and you will pick up the english channels although 19e does broadcast alot in english.

    But yes physicaly move it.

    If you were standing behind the dish you would gently swing the dish it to the left a notch or two.

    Physically move does not mean take the dish down. It will swing on the mounting.

    Like what?

    OP, it might be worth posting a pic of the dish. It could be a multi-satellite setup.

    Most movie channels tend to have an English audio look for the audio button on your remote.

    AXN Action is the only that I am aware of and that is (badly) encrypted.

    Get a (small) can of WD 40 and spray it on the nuts that are tightened on the dish-holder. Let it soak well in. Then loosen them and move the dish very slowly aroiund to 28 degrees. You'll need help from inside the building to give you a shout when you hit the channels.

    You need to lower the dish elevation about 4 degrees or so, as well as aligning further east.

    As a matter of interest, can you list a few of the channels you are receiving atm?
