hey guys, i need someone to help me in getting the PAS 8 signal back again i've got the dish aligned to optus b3 right now and i just subscribed to MySat yesterday. but i cant get the dish back to where it was on PAS 8 im getting 10 for signal power does that mean that im on the right direction and the LNB needs some tuning..... any help would be appreciated.

ok..maight..what u do is u need someone near the tv to see if the signal goes red or gets high in % ..next u u have to move the dish 166-E u are currently on 152-E the best way to do it is u plug the signal finder into the dish..any way i did mine wit out the finder..i let my sis watch the tv while i was moving it to the east to 166...u also need to lift the dish facing up ..but moving it 3 mm u undo the screws that ...moves it up and down....while u move it slowly u will get the exact difference try to move the dish east first b4 u unscrew it.. move it ...and see if u can get sumthn..if not try lift the dish up..abit ..if not move it down best hint 4 me was.I LOOKED AT THE SCREWZ WHERE THEY MOVED FROM THEIR PLACE DA MEANS THE OLD MARK IS THE CORRECT PLACE FOR PAS8 TRY DOING DA TO UNSCREW THEM AND TIGHT THEM UP ON THE OLD MARK...good luck if u have a problem post it and i can help u more [ 25.

You just dont want to pay someone $50 and get it done. I can't beleive how greedy people can get. For god's sake just get someone to do it.

there goes good old dan04 throwing abuse again its in your nature i know but for once just give a helpful answer that is if you know anything about satellite TV but then it wouldn't be your self helping others

hey ameedo ithink it is easier to buy a sat finder for $50 and find the satellite in 5 minutes and it is allways handy for changing the dish
