[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 893861, member: 196043"] I've noticed this summer reception on my 80cm clear plastic dish has been a lot worse than usual but it doesn't seem like it's moved however if I pull the dish together from the sides to make it more curved I see signal levels go back to what they used to be. As a temporary fix I've placed two blocks of wood that push it away from the wall by about 5-10mm each side (see photo). It's been quite a hot summer and my balcony often gets over 35C hot and even more in the sun, especially when it's closed with glass panels off like a greenhouse. The plastic is quite flexible. Anyone think my dish might be flattening out in the heat?! I've been thinking of replacing it with a TD88 (it should just about fit on my balcony) for a while, and I'm hoping this would hold its shape plus give me a bit more gain. I can't physically go bigger than that, there just isn't any room. Any thoughts on what is going on? [/QUOTE]
