I don't get it, WTF do sellers load such a premium onto posting stuff to Ireland.?
I'm from NI originally, and have a lot of mates get stuff posted to me in England, and I post it onto them simply because sellers either refuse to post to them, or want a ridiculous amount for postage.

out of line slightly,
remember, being out maybe 1/4 degree on the first sat, could well end up being a degree or more out somewhere else,
NOT being plumb, thats a whole new MASSIVE can of worms, that will cause you issues you will NEVER resolve
HAVE YOU CHECKED PLUMB,?
AT LEAST 27 TIMES.??????

but is your new dish elevation and angle exact same as old one?
We put the motor to zero and made sure everything was pointing South.Entered lat and long into the openbox connected the cable back up sent to Thor.We got that turned in using aljazeera English and getting intensity 88% signal quality 78%.
Quick look I can get Thor Astra 4a eutelsat 7a hotbird 6/8/9.
This dish is going to be the death of me at this rate

Most likely your elevation move it 0.1 a degree each time. Don't give up I have the same dish it took Me a week to set up.

As mk_engineer has suggested it's likely to be your elevation. The diagram below is from my Sat motor manual, it shows the result of incorrect motor elevation, fig 10 shows that if it's too low your dish arc is too narrow, fig 11 shows that if it's too high then it's too wide, try increasing the elevation first. With the dish pointed at Thor, increase the motor elevation slightly, maybe by half a degree or less, tighten the bolts & then bring the dish elevation down until you get the same 78% signal quality on aljazeera English as you had before, your dish arc will now be different.
Then move the dish to 28E to see if you can get a signal, hopefully if you keep adjusting the elevation in this way you will get it sorted.
Right, before I take the plunge and get one of these kits the reaper always recommends, is it particularly unadvisable not to bold a motorised dish onto a shed roof? line of sight won't be an issue for most of what I'm bothered about, just curious as to whether anyone thinks there may be any particular problems that aren't so obvious.
