well its been a while since i installed the dish..still getting good results in all weathers.....i keep going back to BADR for a nosey...find that the channels are only 28-31% with quite a bit of break up over the receivers (DARKBOX 2007) threshold of 30%.
Decided to have a play and put my old Lidl 0.6 LNB on the dish in stead of the Strong LNB which i bought and installed with the dish....
~What an improvement....6-8% signal increase....now have the MBC channels rock steady...today is sunny with lots of passing cloud...so a reasonalbe day to test. the other sats seem to have a better to even better reception too..........never thought to play with LNBs before....all i need now is to try the Inverto as mentioned in post above........i also noted that the lnb adapter gets a little waterlogged in the bottom recess which meant the Strong lnb was going to get flooded eventually in the two breather holes...the breather hole on the Lidl lnb is clear of the holder....so..despite my thrombosis and climbing the blinkin ladder again i feel well pleased......but disapointed the Strong 0.2lnb isnt quite a match for the 85cm dish.....again thanks to all at satellites co uk for inputs on a wide range of topics...great site...must use it more though..
