Did this setup ever work right? How many satellites were you getting before you moved the dish?

i just had the free view. i had order my new boxes to day so i could get all the other station. my i moved the dish up more on the pole.

By 'the freeview', do you mean all the free-to-air channels across all the different satellites on the arc visible to your dish?

Yes the arc is visible to my dish. Nothing is blocking the view.

Yes, but did the dish track the arc properly & get a good signal from all the satellites you would expect to get in Ireland with iirc a 1.1m dish?

Here & in a previous thread, you mention the Astra satellites @ 28 degrees east, as if that is all you managed to receive.

I have spent 20 years trying to get the arc correctly set. Hope you have more success, and quicker.

Are you still trying? Might as well get some value out of this thread.

So you're not even using the motor? Why start a thread looking for help setting up a motor if you're just going to park it on 28 degrees east?

Your dead right. I did have the arc quite good at some stage but soon after the motor failed and had to be replaced. Im still working on it.
