[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 829934, member: 301161"] @Davidcmadrid As long as it is pointing away from the wall it doesn't matter how close it is. The only time it is a problem is if part of the dish can't see the satellite because the wall is in the way. @nml Put the Black Ultra on the 1.5m and spend some time getting it right. 10773 H is a good transponder to align on because it has signal either side from 30.5E and 26E. Once you get the best C/N possible aligning the dish spend some time playing with the skew and LNB depth. On mine I put a stainless steel stressor down to the LNB arm and it picked up a lot of signal (dish is pretty flexible). Once you have it as near to perfect as you can, make a note of the C/N. Now go back to the spectrum screen and make a note of the signal level on 10773H and 10964H. With those 3 numbers you can easily work out what dish size you need for 2F. [/QUOTE]
