I bought a kit from Aldi a few weeks ago and I spent about one and a half hours trying to get the quality up to a reasonable figure. Since then I've bought a tripod off ebay for £20 and today all I did was to align one of the tripod legs at 145 degrees which is roughly the position of the satellite then I pointed the dish in line with the tripod leg and the signal quality was 65% , then I loosened the LNB and twisted it slightly tp get a better quality signal.Took me all of 1 minute, chuffed to bits.

We tried our over the weekend but couldnt get a signal, it was saying the one was 80% then the quality was 14%, I'm not sure if we were doing something wrong. We used the saellite finder to point it the right way but still didnt find any channels. We're going to bring it home and try to work it out here.

I've done this , you've picked up the wrong satellite , switch the sat box off and back on , then have another go . There are 2 satellites close together thats why you sometimes get the wrong one.
