Here's a top-of-the-roof re-alignment I did earlier today.
I re-pointed what I think is a Visiosat 80cm SMC dish from 19.2E to 28.2E.
It did seem as a 100cm dish, but the ribbing in the back corresponds to the 80cm version.
It is using an Inverto Red Classic single LNB, and high-grade coax cable (outdoor-stuff, not able to dechiper make or spec).
Cable run is easily >100 meters, and there is at least one combiner, two couplers, a wall outlet and a splitter in the signal path.
Nevertheless, it manage to pull in BBC1/2 in watchable quality using the ProMax connected directly to LNB via short cable for pointing, and a somewhat pixellating/chirping version using a Pace Sky box connected after the massive cable run. Eutelsat stuff came in fine with no probs.
Clear skies, yes, but still amazed that I can pull down BBC1 on an 80cm dish!!
I will measure the dish on monday just to be shure...
