Hi all,
I just joined the forum after recently purchasing the Ross FTA SD satellite kit from B & Q. I used to be in the TV industry and thought I would try and keep up to date with technology. I set the dish up on the patio by screwing the stand to a piece of wood and then pointed it in the rough direction of others in the street. Like many I got plenty of strength but no quality. I found Astra 1 easier to get but the key for me for receiving Astra 2 was the tilt of the dish and not so much the direction. I didnt have any meters or gear but once I understood the angle is much shallower than you would imagine, I was sorted! All i have to do is find somewhere to fix the dish to, which my wife says is a bit big compared with Sky. hope this helps others. Snowwy
