II have recently purchased a satellite receiver (ASR WS201) and I am
having little success in getting it connected. I don't know if this is
the correct place to seek such help, but I'm giving it a try anyway.

I am located in East Anglia in the United Kingdom. According to the
satellite location map I should be pointing south and low. I'm having
no success in getting any signal at all and I would like to at least
decide whether it is my equipment (in which case is it the antenna or
the set) or is it a problem with the area I am in.

I have no experience with satellite stuff and I would be grateful for
any pointers about simple tests that could be carried out, or at least
where I could go for help. I have tried the home page for the AMI
website but there are problems with that also (www.amisb.co)

Thanks

Satellite dish aiming is very critical. You must know the precise position
of the desired satellite, and then calculate the required azimuth and
elevation for the dish. More than a degree or two off, and you will get
nothing. Try http://www.satsig.net/ssazelm.htm There are many other sites,
just Google "satellite dish aiming".
