My digital system is the correct package for the job, correct dish, lnb, cable etc. I get a signal indicated sometimes on the TV baragraph but it will not lock. I need some sort of device to accurately point the dish towards the satellite. The normal procedure used for analogue pointing does not seem to work for digital. Some sort of rapid reaction meter is needed inline between the lnb and RX. I could make one if I had a suitable cct. I do not have a spectrum analyizer for the ghz freqs otherwise that would be the answer. 73 de Mal/G3KEV > > > >
