[QUOTE="jleal, post: 903129, member: 175798"] Just had another try with the dish. It's is useless for 2E/F right now. Yesterday before the "crash" at around 10:20 I did some records for signal level with my humax 5700: BBC1, 2 etc. : 33 - 35% BBC3: 27 - 28% ITV1,2, etc: 27 - 28% ITV3: 29 - 30% E4, more4, E4+1: 30 - 33% Channel 4, film4, film4+1: 45 - 49% Channel 5: 16 - 17% By that time the same channels on my 1.8PF were much worse and a few minutes later started to disapear. That wasn't the case with the 2.3m. Channel 4 for exmple remained at 42-44%, ITV and BBC3 lost only few percentage on humax signal meter. Well, today, with the now bent 2.3m and at a time when I had more signal intensity with the 1.8 the signal level for the same channels was: BBC1, 2 etc. : 16 - 17% BBC3: 0% ITV1,2, etc: 0% ITV3: 0% E4, more4, E4+1: 0% Channel 4, film4, film4+1: 19% Channel 5: 0% Again, these were taken when the 1.8 was displaying the ususall good picture at around 19:30 When I'm pointing the dish at 28.2E, I always use the skynews frequency (12207V) which is very strong. Before the dish was bent I fine tune this frequency and it reached easily 100% signal level. At this point I new I had some signal on 2E transponders. With the dish bent, I can't get more than 70- 74 % in 12207V. I think signal level decrease after the crash is about 25 to 30% which is a lot considering I get a stable picture on my humax for 2E/F frequencies at 20%. I also removed lnb arms and fliped the dish to the other side placing it on a almost level surface. There's is definitely a bump on the dish rim. The dish doesn't touch the ground all around the rim. I didn't try to unbent the dish yet. I f someone can help on that... here are the pictures I took today. [/QUOTE]
