I finally got my Triax TDA 110 dish and Technomate TM-2100A motor (Moteck SG-2100A clone) installed on Thursday and my results have been fairly good - although not perfect!
I can view BBC from 10 in the morning and all day - at least until midnight when signal levels drop too low. My receiver (a Technomate TMS-1500 CI+ - TM
S - for Sensitive) seems to have a threshold of about 47-48% where I get no pixelation - below that it starts to pixelate - and below 45% I basically get no picture). ITV1 is fine too, but there is no sign of ITV2-4.
The installation was done by a professional, however no particular 2D tweaking was done so I am rather happy with the results considering that. However, I would be interested in being able to watch BBC 24/7.
I am using USALS with my receiver and to get optimal performance from BBC I have had to change my position from 18.0E to 17.5E! I guess that means that the motor is slightly off. Problem is that the dish is about 6-7 meters up, so it's not just something you go and fix.
I did try and skew the LNB slightly today, although to be fair - I'm not quite sure what I am doing! Sure, I rotate the LNB slightly - but I couldn't really see any difference on the receiver's signal level.
Other satellites seem fine, at least the ones I've tried. What ones "should" I be able to get in from Stockholm (Täby) ? Gimme some to try
Any ideas what to do to improve this ? I'm considering letting the installer come back as he's got instruments for fine tuning. However, it might be worth letting a "2D" expert take a look at it instead, as they would know exactly what to tweak.
