satellite tv receiver and dish

Hi Ronb28.

I am in South Perth but heading off tomorrow so probably not much help.

There are a few Youtube Videos explaining how to do a Dish set up and hit the Satellite.

I have used a three different Sat Finders over the years and the one shown in this video I consider the easiest and most simple to use.

You choose the Optus C1 Satellite, so it only is looking for that satellite and cuts all the others out.

The Needle type el cheapo sat meters things they supply with the Sat Dish, are the WORST and I think turned my hair Grey.

Click on this Link Below hope it helps.

Regards Mike

P.S. If you do not already use it. I recommend getting The "Wiki Camps App" and using the Satellite locator on that it hepls with the Location of the satellite in the sky and points you in the right direction. Also enables you to see if Trees ,Buildings, Mountains, etc, are masking the Satellite from you.

Definitely the "Wiki Camps App" is the way to go. I also carry a standard compass just in case.
