I got mine working on Sunday - I tried the Sat Finder that came with the box but I didn't find it any use (no vol control). I wasn't sure if you would get a picture with it in and it was so much hassel taking it on and off that I tried without it.
I stuck a bar in the ground outside my window and tried from there as I could see the TV and move the dish. I had read that the bar holding the LNB should be horizontal (parallel with the ground) - so I tried this and then moved the dish so that the arm was facing almos South. Strangely, I got 64% siganl but no picture yet I now a have picture with only 58% signal.
I have picked up Astra with BBC1, 2 and 3 and load more mickey mouse channels, but I thought I'd get ITV and Sky news - anyone know what I have to do to get these?
Thanks to everyone for their contributions and their help.
