I've recently bought a new Sony TV with Freesat built in. The flat I rent has a dish from a previous tenant outside it.
On plugging in the cable, I get a "No Signal" message. I've used Dishpointer to try to align it properly, but still can't get a signal. I'm assuming that the elevation is correct. How precise does the alignment need to be? Surely I should get some signal if I'm close to lined up? Could it just be that the cable connections need cleaning?
I have no idea when the dish was last used or how old it is. Freeview works fine.
