Hi, I will be installing my own motorised sat system in the next day or two. The only problem that I see at the moment is that I cant see how I can set my dish angle. There are no obvious markers to set againts an angle. Here is a pic that should give you a good enough Idea what I mean. any advice is much appreciated.

Hi,

mmm, looks like it may be that triangular cut-out bottom right.

But don't worry about it if it's not, just set the dish initially as roughly vertical, then adust for best signal.
