    Default Can anyone recommend a decent "Cheap" Sat finder?

    As topic says, Had my motorised dish installed and was recieving around 7 sats minus Astra 28.2e.

    Had installer back and he got Astra but everytime I do a scan for sats it doesnt find any. Now the installer had to raise the dish up the pole due to the neighbours chimney but I dont think he changed the angle of the dish to compensate for the move.

    So Im after one to do it myself or a loan of a decent one

    If you are getting some sats and not astra and then astra but not the others are you sure your pole is 100% vertical? Looking at the date of this post you've probably got it sorted but if not then check your pole.

    Its sorted beerman, my dreambox is shit for finding sats. I had to get a technomate to use as a satfinder then hotswap the coax to the dreambox to store the sats.

    A Pain but it works.
