got me new kit to day :

Technomate 85cm dish
Technomate 1500 CI+
MTI 0.6 LNB

Fixed to the wall all OK. Found Astra 2A etc.
Then tried to find Hotbird which is the bird i want
in the end gave up to cold.

As i face south tried to go further to the left from 28.2 deg
think i should have gone to the right by 15 deg

have set the dish at 30 deg is this OK

Imagine you are standing behind the dish - for Hotbird from Astra 2 you want to go right (and up a tad)
