Hi Rich.

Just a couple of thoughts - and please accept my apologies if I mention anything which seems unhelpful, but:

1. I guess you located the upper bolts for the elevation bracket in the correct holes (A) for UK?

2 For the Dishpointer settings - It sounds as if you may have entered your post-code, but did you change the shown satelite from the list to the one you actually want? Only ask, because this could be the reason for the incorrect setting of -10 degrees.

3. The LNB does have a small alignment mark, you will find it on the circular rim. As you pointed out, the graduations are simply marked to 20 degrees each way. For a negative LNB skew you would look at the LNB from behind the dish. So, if the LNB were set at 0 degrees (ie: cable would be hanging straight down from the LNB at this position), then you would need to rotate the LNB so the cable connector on the bottom of the LNB would move to the right of vertical.

Hope you make some progress.

Regards.
