Use DishPointer to find the elevation and declination..

¿Are you sure about your longitude ?? as I am checking and it doesnt come up anywhere.
Now I have found it,,,, according to your IP it should be longitude -7.11562 (another fellow countryman ;)QuoteDisplay MoreYour Location Satellite Data Dish Setup Data
Latitude: xxxxxxxxx°
Longitude: xxxxxxxxxx°
Name: Stab HH100
Distance: 38592km
Motor Latitude: 52.3°
Declination Angle: 7.5°
Dish Elevation: 22°
Azimuth (true): 180.0°
Azimuth (magn.): 184.1°
As you can see it is based on a 100cms dish pointing at nearest southern point.
and I found it using this amazing little gem based on your lat/correct long ;) -

Motor Latitude: 52.3°
Declination Angle: 7.5°
Dish Elevation: 22°
these are the quotes from the experts...
but if you are already recieving all easterly platforms with no probs then you must have a building or a high/ wide object( trees,etc) in line of sight..
On dishpointer there is an option to show you if somehting is blocking the line of "sight" .. go to page ,tick the box and it will show you at what height ...
On a well calculated arc you should be able to get 28ºE + 30ºW without any probs ,then finetune the rest ;) -
i have no restrictions i have full line of sight i am east facing appartment block full line of sight can u tell me if i am actully on the arc if i can recieve all the east sats my dish elevetion is set at 30 drgrees and motor is set at 52 layitude

You need to read what I have already posted in 2 posts above :
Motor Latitude: 52.3°
Declination Angle: 7.5°
Dish Elevation: 22° -

Which satellite have you setup on?
You will also need to know which satellite is the most due south of your longitude, My longitude is roughly 0.55 West, so my most southerly satellite is Thor at 0.8w which is the one i would need to setup on.
You need to figure out which satellite is the most due south from where you are and setup on that. If your in Ireland it could possibly be 5w. Forget trying 4w and 7w as they are very weak unless you have a large dish (1.5m+).
Have you also ensured your pole the motor is attached to is exactly vertical? If its not forget it as it won't follow the arc properly no matter what you do.
