  • I've set my epg to download uk and Norway, my thing I carnt get my head round is, I thought I'd set my dish to south at the correct arc then select a channel on 1w then the dish would go to this sat, I would then fine tune to this sat and all the other sats would drop in?
    How do I know we're to point my dish to get 1w?


    If you are behind the dish then 0.8w is slighlty facing rightside of south..
    you also have to consider the difference of magnetic north to true north is a difference of 2.8 something degrees..
    to set mine up I set motor to 0º with dish aligned to this then slightly move motor and dish as one piece until get strongest signal which is ever so slight...
    in fact you cant even see the difference from 0º..
    If no channels are showing ,as lacierva suggested ,install a ready made settings list..
    try this IPK... restart box after installing

    I,m sure it will all come together when the dish is up on the wall, I hope
