Satellite experts?

At Treegrove Kilkenny, I tried my portable Sat dish for the first time, Dave seen me and had to get his out which is bigger, what is he trying to prove?

Anyhow, I have a sat finder APP on my phone and Dave had a compass, BOTH of them pointed in the same direction but we couldn't get a signal.

Ken (Taylor) came in with his self seeking Dish and it was completely different direction than ours, moved ours around and within 10 seconds had a signal.

So what were we doing wrong?

I had the sat finder set to Astra 28.25

I wish

i have used the compass before and found it ok but we were about 25 degrees out this time and sat finder on phone agreed with compass i think it was aliens

Just from our own personal experience so cant say whos doing what right or wrong. Often while trying to use a compass inside a motorhome it will not work properly due to magnetic interference. I find we need at times to stand clear in an open space to get a true reading, normally now we just set the elevation and can spin the dish round in approx direction until the sat finder screams a constant tone at us

The Astra satellites have been moved but I still thought that they were in the same general direction
