I tell you Astro Signal Quite Sensitive.
Only facing in one direction, last time my neighbour installing a awning knocked abit the Dish. Need move the Astro left right....

Btw, isn't there's Astro On The Go?

In order to DIY, get a reference point from your neighbours.
Then slow position until you hear clear speaking audio and video from your TV and done smile.gif

Satellite is not WiFi , not so easy find one brows.gif

It will only got signal when angle correct then baru fine tune.

You need accuracy to be inside 5 degree only, out of that range no signal.

angle is easy but elevation is freaking hard.

Bro aluminium foil tu remove ok tak remove pun ok tapi mesti tak boleh bersentuh dengan dawai yang tengah.

for the dish positioning, 3 things you need to adjust: azimuth (arah kiri - kanan), elevation (dongak atas-bawah) and lnb skew (the bullet thing in front of the dish, need to pusing clockwise or counter clockwise after elevation and azimuth is correct).

go http://www.dishpointer.com/ , enter your location (can be your house gps coordinate), and for satellite choose 91.5E Measat 3. the site will output the elevation, azimuth and skew degree for your place.

for azimuth, use compass for example in kl this is the value from dishpointer:

Your Location Satellite Data Dish Setup Data View dish alignment line in Google Earth
Latitude: 3.1390°
Longitude: 101.6869°

Name: 91.5E MEASAT 3A | MEASAT-3
Distance: 35921km

Elevation: 77.5°
Azimuth (true): 253.1°
Azimuth (magn.): 253.4°
LNB Skew [?]: 72.8°
Turn clockwise standing behind the dish

for azimuth, pakai compass pusing sampai dapat bearing 253.4 tu. can use normal compass or digital compass from smartphone. that is where your dish should be pointing to.

for elevation (dongakan), check under the dish, there will be a scale 60, 70 ..... until 90. adjust according the value that you got from dishpointer.

lnb skew - on top of lnb there will be a arrow mark. 0 degree is when the mark is at the top and the cable connector is at the bottom. for 72.8 degree, to arrow mark will be somewhere in between 2 to 3 o' clock

get a multimeter and test ur coaxial cable ...check connectivity and also make sure core is not shorted to ground. Check also your LNB is properly attached to the dish.
