[QUOTE="Sleepingwiththefish, post: 1101243"] 130cm is probably not enough to deal with fluctuations even if "pointed accurately". At my location, central PT, with a PFA 2.4m, BBC 1-2 HD channels/TPs are the most stable here, summer months ~12dB, now ~13.5dB, can even deal with some heavy rain now... BBC 4 HD now is 11.7dB I can ruin this signal by pointing the dish to 2F/28.2, to favor some lower signals I have there, for example on 12382H, so, I found a spot in the middle of 28.2-28.5 where I think I have a good "average" Dish needs to be stable, a good mount that provide smooth fine adjustments is essential, because a couple mm can ruin everything, also you need time and patience! For me it was also needed to adjust LNB distance, I had to place it more farther away from the dish than the original position, Based on local reports with smaller antennas, it did not work very well for them, to have some margin on 2E they lost most channels of 2F UK and vice versa.
