The next step is to check mechanical alignment. You want to verify that
the dish tracking arc matches the arc of the satellites. Pick two satellites
one at 30 to 40 degrees east of your zero reference satellite and one at
30 to 40 degrees west. You should see quality bar readings between
60% and 80% at both locations, all though you may have to hunt
thru the active transponders. If the two locations are not close to each
other signal wise you will have to do some mechanical adjustment.
