Hey, Got my dish, Triax 1.1. also bought a Pointe'Sat Pro meter. its a compass and beeper all in one. (by the way I also have a decent meter with needle and beeper, just thought a compass would be handy) so i took out the compass and guess what, north is pointing south and south is pointing north, which means all the detail on the compass is useless as they are printed inside and are also pointing north.its a ball type compass with liquid inside. Just wondering has anyone else one of these? only cost about £:confused:13 tried everywhere outside.

Some of these type of compass are designed to be read from the side. For example, if it's mounted on the windscreen or dash of a car the direction that you're travelling would be displayed on the opposite side so that the driver can easily see which direction he's travelling. Hold it up at eye level and I think you'll see what I mean.
Does that make sense?
