My System: Six feet C band fixed dish, Opensky 2000X receiver. | Hallo Karism & Rolfw, Thanks for the quick response, I have a 6 feet dish and for the Lnb, I need to conform this evening.Tried to skew the lnb but still no improvement on Intelsat 902. Currently the dish is on Intelsat 906 and some frequencies are ok ( around 68%) while others are still below 50%. | ||
