[QUOTE="a33, post: 1070632, member: 332642"] Hi TR4Owner, and welcome to the forum! :-welcome1 Are you aware that Astra 2F and 2G are positioned at 28.2 east, but Astra 2E is at 28.5 east? See [URL='https://nl.kingofsat.net/pos-28.2E.php']Astra 2E / Astra 2F / Astra 2G (28.2°E) - Alle uitzendingen - Frequenties - KingOfSat[/URL] , on the top of that website you can see where the three satellites are 'hanging' (at "longitude"). So it might be that you are too much directed to 28.2, and too far off for 28.5. Can you try aiming the dish a little bit to the left (seen from behind), and increase reception levels for 28.5 east channels? Aiming at 28east is always a compromise between 28.2 channels, and 28.5 channels. So you must [B]not maximalize[/B] signal on some channel, but find the optimal compromise between Astra 2E and Astra 2F. Finding the best compromise therefore may take some time and patience, while again and again changing between channels to watch the effect of your moves. Here in the Netherlands I can notice the position-difference of 28.2 and 28.5 with dishes from about 60 cm in width. And the bigger the dishes, the more accurate they must be pointed! I hope this helps you further. Good luck with your new dish! greetz, A33 [I]Edit: For [B]finding 28.5E[/B], you can choose a channel that is on the [B]Europe[/B]-beam. For [B]finetuning[/B], choose channels that are on the [B]UK-beams[/B]! They are the hardest to get.[/I] [/QUOTE]
