$00f  Heres some info on the satellite that sits next to astra (sky)


$00fWhat it is called......

$9ef Duhhhhh, don't know.
 
$00fHow to tune in.......

$9ef Standing  in  front  of  the dish, turn it so that the LNB moves about
3-4" to your left, keep the vertical plane the same.  Sounds a bit vague
I know, but its easy to pick up.  When you get it alligned properly make
a mark on your bracket so you can find it next time.

[An  interesting  article.   I  take it you were talking about Eutelsat?
Since  I  moved  to  cable  I  don't  get into satellite much these days
although  I still own 2 systems up in Middlesbrough.  I'm sure there are
more  electronic  entertainment  junkies  out there who could write some
interesting   articles   on   picking  up  satellite  channels,  getting
entertainment  for  free  and  program reviews.  Lets see those articles
pouring in.  Kei]
