    By any chance, does anyone have a lend of a sat finder? Having difficult locking onto Astra 2 for Sky / Freesat and unsure if it's my dish or I'm just very mis-aligned.

    Much appreciated if anyone does.. or I'll even buy off someone if reasonable - just not bothered in waiting for a week to get one off an online seller.

    Call into SatPlanet in Greers yard, Adelaide st. A guy told me he rented a pro meter off him for €20.

    Cheers red_sean.

    Actually bought a sat-finder off him for €15, and did the job perfectly.

    Bolts weren't tightened at back of dish, and elevation was off by about 5°.

    Very nice guy too.. much recommended!
