Have I got my A & B's round the wrong way?

Looking from behind the dish clamp the right hand monoblock (13E) and lift the left hand one half an inch (19E)

I wish Id taken some photos when I installed the monobloc over in Selkirk a couple of years ago. They would have been useful now.

Wrong!

Here we go.

Astra will be mounted slightly higher, because it's lower in the sky.

In fact, these LNBs are too far apart to be for Astra1 and Hotbird, but it illustrates the point nicely.

ops:

It worked when I set it up round the wrong way ! The lad I set it up for was delighted with the results. Its probably still round the wrong way today.....

It shouldn't matter where they come from on your PC. What file suffix do they have? Are you using the 'Additional Options' to attach them?

Thanks BG, still not 100%, but here are my pics. Filched from Sats.co.uk. I have a wierd feeling they were my pics in the first place.
Dish pointing at 13*east.
