    That is exactly what I am saying. You need signal lock before you start to adjust. Before that you are just working blind.

    T&K Brackets here, speak to Tony hes a great chap. For some reason it won't let me post the link (remove spaces)

    [Mod] Link removed. Please read the forum rules.

    Just go to any tv aerial shop and they should have them find loads in any area with yell.com or even ebay depending how quick you want dish up

    Just remember to buy a decent pole to go between thats the right diameter think it should be 2" minimum really

    just go to eBay and in the search type " t and k bracket pole " then you will find both the T&K Bracket and the pole you need i did post a link but it was taken off even though it followed the forum rules as the seller only sells aerial and dish accessories and isn't a satellite retailer

    Normally stated as a 50mm pole ( depends if you work in mm or inches ) if you look on ebay with search i recommended above you will see on the listing the 12" 18" and 24" t&K brackets ( they sell a 32mm pole too thin in my opinion) and also listing says they can do steel poles that are 2" just have to message them.

    Saying that theres hundreds of 50mm steel poles on eBay if you do a search

    Found a 48.3mm pole would that be good enough or does it have to be exactly 2inch? 48mm is just under 2inch to be fair?
