    Hello, I had to move my sky HD+ dish earlier, I moved it to a different position, now I cant get a signal, I used various apps and google to find the direction 28.2 degrees east, its the elevation that's getting me, I was using the LNB arm to get 22 degree elevation, then discovered its an offset dish (typical Sky Dish).

    Can anybody please give me the elevation I need using the LNB arm, or even the offset degree of this dish so I can try get a signal.

    It was set on a thick pebbledash wall and moved about 8ft on the same wall, so was slightly kicked off direction and to add salt to the wound, I start trying to adjust it like the old analogue type until I discovered it don't work, any help appreciated.

    I don't have a sat meter.

    Any help appreciated

    Dunno about using the LNB arm ...

    Not sure about the offset angle on your Sky dish, probably somewhere in the mid-to-high twenties, if the few I've dealt with are anything to go by, where the dish face would be below vertical for 22 degrees elevation. So if the elevation markings are no help &, in the absense of more precise info., you could start with the dish face vertical & slowly work your way down. (Only a matter of a few degrees.)
