My Satellite Setup
Laminas 1.2M fibre dish with an IBU, on a Clarke Tech USALS motor, covering 57E - 24.5W to an Octagon SX88. Displayed on a 20" Dyon LED TV.

Seperate 80 cm dish on 28E with a Humax Freesat for SWMBO.
Free Sat V8 meter. Sony Bravia 46" LCD, Sony BluRay and Home Cinema.

You should be doing a little better than that with a 1.1M dish. Here, on a 88cm dish with the LNB well off centre (it's one of my multisat setup) I'm getting 80% strength and 67% quality. As Mickha said compensating for misalignment by altering longtitude settings will affect satellites further along the arc.

Sorry about the long wait for any sort of news. Made a mistake and didnt tighten up the brackets on the dish just in case i needed to fine adjust it. Would y0u believe it, storm knocks dish out of whack, but thanks to the things i learnt here got it all back.

OK, Preliminary results show i have, Turksat 42E to (What i am trying at the moment) Hispasat 30W

Sounds as if you've made considerable progress, so well done.


And, as you've discovered, once you've got the hang of it, future work becomes so much easier and quicker.

The only problem i have at the minute is i have very strong winds and a wobbly dish so my signal keeps dropping and rising frequently
