Hi John

You need to go very slowly when finding the satellite and both angle of inclination and direction have to be spot on although its easier with a smaller dish.

The angle of inclination should be about 25deg in Normandy and you need to start from about SSE and make small movements of the dish.

Make a slow pass at 25deg and if that's no good try either side up or down a fraction

On my 60cm dish the thickness of a pencil line is the difference between on and off the satellite

As Swiss Tony would say

Finding the satellite is very like making love to a beautiful woman.Make slow passes and take your time until you get the knack!

Pointing at the sun at 12noon in Normandy is a starting point--if you can see it

Hi John @ Wolves. - Just a tip to add : when you are looking for a pitch on the camping site, bear in mind that trees can block the signal, so try to avoid them on the South East side. Have a good trip. Keith
