I think I have sorted this now. I have manually moved the dish thismorning
using the receiver box and remote and found Hotbird. Yesterday no matter
what satellite I wanted the dish seemed to do it itself. Anyway I have just
found Astra and the channels are now popping up.

I appreciate I should maybe have gone for another dish but this was £79 with
everything.

Can you tell me how to set the dish so it doesnt hit the guttering and also
please, when I press SAT on the remote and say for instance switch between
Astra and Hptbird I get the message INFO POSITIONER SETTINGS and it wont
switch betwen the two.

Thanks again for all your invaluable help
