i just came across this video on youtube...Something not reet there, it looks like you have signal margin but it is in % so not easy to tell.
If you get the signal readings in dB you can assess the margins better.
An Octagon SF8008 or any E2 receiver suitably loaded will give you the signal levels in dB and pour Poop.
It could be the LNBF but you need another one to try as a comparison.
I got spare Tits over 'ere you can buy for huge wad.
Have you tried adjusting the feed/scalar distances to see if it makes any difference?
i just came across this video on youtube...
the guy describes exactly what i had on CBAND when using an LNB (tried 2) without the 5G filter i.e signal about 70 - then zero.
deffo 5G interference
(4m 08s)
NB In setups where C is small, the maximum (theoretical) actuator stroke length for the setup is never more than 2B (when B<A), or 2A (when A<B ); so maximum twice the shortest triangle side length, as we called it earlier in this thread.
When C is greater, as in this case, the maximum (theoretical) actuator stroke length for the setup increases to 2B + C when (A = B+C), or even to A+B when (A > B+C).
Knowing the maximum possible stroke length for the actuator, could help designing the proportions of the triangle side lengths.
i wish this was still the case, its now reverse for me! now getting Fox all the time, but ESPN only in the day. very odd indeed....dont think its anything to do the the FEC 3/4 - 5/6 thing either.yes, and getting same signal as me on that TP on my 1.8m - well done mate
both our 1.8m's have been repaired now. lol
get a coke bottle on the end of that LNB and try and peak signal to 10.5db and your laughing.
i notice the FS1, FS2, FS3 TP is weaker, and disappears "at night", and comes back...whereas the ESPN stays 24hours.

RC2000 on its way!!! Cant wait to have a play with it.How did you setup the positioner (v-box) for counting pulses?
For example, is due south at 000 count and 0.8W at 009 count or are you using some other notation?
Just guessing but if you have similar positions stored for E/W it might be getting confused.
If you have 40.0E and 40.5W stored what are their respective satellite numbers in the v-box?
Same question for 3.0E/3.0W, 5.0E/5.0W and 7.0E/7.0W and 31.5E/31.5W
You could always try the dish on a Jaeger 1224.
They are easy to setup, linear counting across the arc and wider arc range than a polar mount.
Or change the v-box for an RC2000 if you can source one at sensible wad to see if that improves things?
