OK, thanks, I did that.

I just checked again and its good, must be the angle of the picture or something.

low. Although the picture may have been taken when you were adjusted 5 deg less than the theoretical setting. Assuming that your latitude is around 42 (looks like that where the motor is set), then your dish elevation should be somewhere between 24 and 25 degrees. It looks like you are down around 25-30 range.

It was set around 20-22 in the picture I think, I've been running through the range of 18 - 30 or so at various times. (My initial setting was around 23-24 I think)
After adjusting the LNBF in its holder I ran it back and forth at very small intervals again and tried different elevation settings ranging from 20 - 28 or so. Still can't find anything.
I do get occasional spikes on quality usually 2-5 seconds or so after I move it but it goes right back down. I don't know if that is normal or indicates that I am close but I can never narrow down on anything around where that happens.
Would a coax signal meter be more useful for finding the satellite than the meters on the receiver? Do they react more quickly to changes in the signal? I think there is a DirectTV satellite very close to AMC 6. If I could narrow down on that, then switch to the receiver meter to get AMC 6?
Thanks
