had a few problems on saturday with the installation, found out the installer guy had forgot to screww the cable on the reciever side. also i did not relise he only managed to do 6 satellites in the memory anyway after a lot of swearing and head falling off. managed to increase the list to 8 now. doing it the hard way through disceq insteads of usals ahhhh maybe i should do the easy way next time. would appreciate any advice in searching the rest of
the satellites. chris

I have always used USALS it is much easier, then if any minor adjustments are needed I just alter the position of the satellite by 0.1 or 0.2 of a degree.

I downloaded a channel list from Alsat, it was a great start - it's well out of date again now though
