    Hi

    My setup is all dandy between 30w and 26e but the twoafter 26 have no signal not even 1% of it, is it normal for the arc to only be off for the last two when the rest are ok?

    If so any tips for a amature to fix it? no tools as suck but would like to be able to do this myself!

    My own dish is like that .
    It took a bit of a pounding in the winter but I was able to manually adjust the motor positions in software to offset it.
    I have a strong signal on 30w to 13E. 19e and 23.5e are strong but 28.2 is a bit weak on some transponders.
    I have lost 16E,39E and 42E is weak.
    I'm going to have a go at realigning it ,its an error on the Eastern alignment .
    My pole is still plumb and the dish elevation is the same as it was when I set the dish up so I reckon the motor has moved slightly West on the pole.
    Its odd your picking up 26E though,that's a very weak satellite and your arc has to be spot on to pick that up.
