My System: TM6800HD, TM1000, TM600 Linux,TM5200, TM2200 motor, Triax TD110 dish + Fortec 85cm. Meter=Satlook Micro+G2 NIT | All horizontal and all vertical transponders from both Nilesat 101 and Nilesat 102. One weak transponder - 11804H, the rest of the hoizonatals are 69% or above on my TM1000D super. (receiver threshold approx 65-66%) This is with a Precision 1.8 Prime focus currently with an Inverto white Tech single and an Invacom adjustable feedhorn in Gravesend, Kent. Waiting for a matched feedhorn to arrive, hopefully that might improve further.  Also got a couple of locks on AB4 at 7.2W, but no picture. | ||

All signal's drop after 8.30pm and only 12341v comes in at 52% at night if no rain. All signals come back at 9am.

My System: Gibertini 1M XP Premium - Inverto Black Ultra .2db LNB - Technomate 2200 motor - Vantage 7100 HD. 57E - 22W - 60cm solid oval dish fixed on 28.2 - Humax Freesat HD - Sony Bravia LCD - Sony BluRay and Sony Home Cinema | Hi, Location 0.9°W, 48.5°N. Conditions tonight (22:30) very clear, slightly frosty. Just fitted a Smart Titanium .2 LNB the other day and this afternoon moved it about 1cm in it's collar towards the dish focus. Seems to have improved things, although I can usually get good results from verticals on Nilesat all day (average of 49%Q) unless the weather is really bad. Horizontals: 12303 - 61/46 (Strength/Quality) 11919 - 62/43 11959 - 62/42 11996 - 63/42 12304 - 63/44 12703 - 62/41 12226 - 63/45 12303 - 62/45 12419 - 66/44 Receiver cut off seems to be about 41%, so getting a stable picture most of the time. Things have improved as it gets later, but I want to try and move the LNB in a little more and see what happens. Perhaps when there is another clear night!! Pete | ||

My System: DM500s 45E to 45W 1.2M Channel Mater |
I have heard that the quad output are better than the single input, is this true? I am using a 1.2 Channel Master. Getting a few Vertical channels only in the evening though. Im in Manchester. Also by pulling the LNB further out from the dish increases signal, or does iy bring more noise from the edge of the dish? I hope you can guide me to get the full power out of my dish. Thanks | |||

My System: DM500s 45E to 45W 1.2M Channel Mater |
At present Im using the 1st Edition of the Titanium LNB on my 1.2 CM. I want to increase the gain by about 5-6db this will lock into more channels on the vertial beams. I have heard mix feedback regarding the matched feedhorn for this dish. I dont want to go out and spend over a £100 on LNB and Feedhorn please advise Thanks | |||
