[QUOTE="Remittub, post: 637565, member: 331742"] Just an update to my original problem. I made a more secure mounting on the roof, and aligned the Sky mini dish successfully using the signal strength meter and a known good coax. I then substituted the coax with the original (installed) coax, and lost signal. I then trimmed back this coax at both ends and refitted F connectors, and regained signal. Being a glutton for punishment, I then adjusted the old (large) dish to the same position as the mini dish, but couldn't get alignment. This LNB had lost it's label, but was used when we received analogue satelitte TV and is therefore unsuitable for Sky digital anyway. I had acquired another large dish over the years (history unknown) which had a universal LNB fitted. I tried it, but also couldn't get alignment - therefore concluded that that LNB must be "duff". Might well pick up a cheapie universal LNB on eBay just to get it going (as a spare). Many thanks for everyone's help ! [/QUOTE]
