Hi all hope you all had an amazing christmas and my problem is :-

I know my Dish Bracket Angle should be 22.4 but im using a alsat dish and carnt seem to find them settings on one side it starts from 30 thru to 70 and on the other the numbers are stacked on top of each other making it hard t make out any help id be apreciated, thanks

is it a motorised dish?

personally, i wouldnt bother with the dish angles. set latitude or elevation on motor correctly and use a sat finder to get your best dish angle

It can't be done using dish scales anyway, it has to be done by adjusting for best signal. Dish scales are mostly inaccurate.

Thanks guys think iv got a major aligment prob anyways my signal keeps hitting 70% then going to zero so maybe a un-plum mount or something and recievers only showing up 3 sats

Well, if it isn't set up right it won't work properly.

Try one of these guides

DiSEqC motor installation guides.
