The DTV Slimline dish has fine-tuning bolts on it already. But, I guess you don't have that.

OK, but I'm looking for the Added DIY fine tuning screws to make the elevation and Azimuth easier to tune.
Someone on here figured out a way with adjustment bolts and knobs.
It seems that Doc or Wizzard was part of th guys screen name.
I use a signal meter but it is aggravating to adjust for me.

I do recall someone posting their homemade dish mod, but I didn't find it with a couple of search tries. Here's a photo of that shows the OEM elevation fine tuning setup on our Dish 1000.4 dish that I moded with wing nuts for a no tools adjustment. It may give you some ideas for moding your dish. The 1000.4 also has a fine tuning nut/cam for the azimuth adjustment, although I rarely need to use it.
