Trouble finding exact direction of satellite both Optus and pass 8 for select TV-------The clamps on the post were like alligator teeth so was either too stiff to turn or too sloppy especially if trying to set elevation at same time.
My solution (as I use tripod) was to make up a sleeve from wind up jockey wheel , the old one I had was U S , the top part fits over the tripod shaft perfectly so I drilled 2 holes in it--- welded 2 nuts and fitted grub bolts –I can now twist the dish easily to find the satellites and then lock into place. Setting the elevation I now do beforehand and have marked it on the degree as well.

Also found that Foxtel and select tv wont work on set top box I bought with kit so I use the one from home.
A good place for info about satellite use is-----FREE TO AIR SATELLITE FORUM ----AUSTEC forum is the one I use
