Help Needed Please

I didnt really know where to put this, so I thought here would be the best place as more people would see it.
As you may be aware I have just set my first satellite setup up, but unfortunatly the dish has been a bit harder than expected.
So what I am asking is,,, are there any members here in the Merseyside area who have the equipment to set up a motorised dish correctly, or know anybody who has ??
I have rang Merseysat, but they want £65 + VAT to align the dish ?? There is no need for any hard work as the dish is actually mounted and I am getting 13 and 19 degrees East, so just needs lining up properly.
I dont mind paying out some cash,,, but £65 + VAT is ridiculous.

Hi Mark,
It is usually best to see if you can line the dish up with 1west first, and the rest usually come easy.

We did try that m8, but the arc must be wrong as I couldnt get any of the other sats.
I just thought that if someone had the test meters it would save me and Ianskill possibly weeks of work,,, lol.
PS, No dis-respect to Ianskill as he has helped me loads and even got x2 sats working for me.

M8, I wished I was closer to you I dont have the meters anyways but it took me 3 days to get my arc right, but you must have the pole the dish is mounted on perfect vertical or you will never get the arc right. Best of luck to you both.
Regards Rob.

Hi Mark as capper2824 has said it looks like your pole isn`t vertical m8,you will never get it lined up if your pole isn`t vertical.
You must be about right with the angle of your dish if you can pick up the sats you say,get a spirit level on the pole m8 & get it plumb & you should be ok.
H.
Ps try 2 get it sorted using thor & all other sats should fall in

Hiya m8
You must make sure the mount/pole is absolutely vertical, or there's no point looking for anything!
Than use the satfinder (
http://www.steves-homepage.co.uk/satfinder.htm
) to get the correct elevation angles for your dish.
Once you've get it set up, all the sats should come in fine
