Default LNB position.

So when I finally get my new dish up what do I do with my LNB?

Its a universal quad but what I mean is on a mini dish you have to twist it to the side to position 3 I think, do I have to do this on a bigger dish or dose it not matter.

Yes, it matters. Try the SMW link software to see how it should be set for each satellite.

A neat and simple tool.

OK on closer inspection the LNB holder is marked from -20 to +20 so what do I line it up with?

It doesn't have to be fantastically accurate. +/- 5 degrees probably won't show any improvement/deterioration. Just do it by eye, and then experiment once you have the receiver tuned in.
