Well done mate,

No it doesn't as we should be in 'tee shirts and ladder' weather at the moment.

The thing to do now is see how far west and east you can "see" with your reciever and make fine adjustments a few mm at a time to peak it.

You've cracked it

just think of the next (most time consuming) bit as polishing.

Keep us informed of your new satellites as these help everyone, and KEEP ASKING FOR HELP should you need any pointers.

Nice one :clap:

Good stuff.

I wrote a basic fine-tuning guide for our portal here:

It's not chapter and verse, and there are no hard and fast rules - it depends where your errors are - but it should help to get it closer.

You might find this handy too
