[QUOTE="park_gate, post: 652414, member: 220580"] That’s not true. If you read my post #12 you will see I said do the adjustment just as the picture starts to break up. At the point of threshold the difference between a perfect picture and some pixilation is about a 1 dB drop in signal strength. The difference between some pixilation and full break up is about another 1 dB drop. So you can see the adjustment is very sensitive at this point. The important thing is do the adjustment under worst case conditions. I can confirm this method works very well in practice and if it works who cares what the signal to noise ratio is. The Pace 2600 meter also works below the signal to noise threshold. The meter seems to be consistent between boxes and you need a 30% reading for the quality and signal strength in order to get a picture so 10% or 20% readings are below the threshold. The fact that the OP can’t get a signal at all makes me think there is something else wrong and considering the size of the dish I would suspect the LNB although the old water filled LNB might have taken out the receiver high / low band switch.
