[QUOTE="ralphmagno, post: 762876, member: 189146"] hello, ok here is what is going on. the arm on the dish should be on the bottom and not on the top. the are is and can cause some shadow on the dish and signal will be lower. dish is 70 inches so it is 170 cm in diamater this is ok. that means that all the other dishes in your camp should be pointed in the same direction to receive afn. lnb is brobaly old or bad. i replaced an lnb that was gining a 2 quality and signal was low. a transistor amp had a stage shorted causing low level. changed to a new lnb and quality went to 8 long length of cable or old cable with brakes in line. water can enter causing low level. you have the right direction because it works. the angle is right but the arm that holds the lnb on the front should be on the bottom. cable should be thicker, the thin pre made you buy in the exchange is too thin and will eat up signal. so sig or 60 close to the dish will be 40 on the other end. cable should be one piece and not 4 pieces spliced togeather. the lnb skew is geting the phase correct to the satellite possion. the lnb will twist in the holder clockwise or counter clock and if this is twisted too much your level and quality will be low. the back part of the dish the angle is set up correct but your dish is upside down because the arm should be on the bottom. try to change the lnb with a newer one. tell your friends in the camp with the other dishes to rotate in the same direction as yours and theirs is mounted right side up just pointing in the wrong direction. see how much cable length and change lnb . i will check again today this thread the other dishes are not upside down they are right side because the lnb( converter are is on the bottom) they just to be pointing the sane direction ralph [/QUOTE]
