[QUOTE="alec, post: 833060, member: 176125"] As I can confirm after spending hours setting up my new Gibertini 1 m on 2F just using the receiver (Topfield - Humax mostly gives "no or bad signal" on 2F). Slightly better than the previous Optex 80 cm - 4/seven and patchy C5 during the morning/early afternoon - but still no "Ice Road Truckers" on Friday evenings :( . @ timo - would be very interested in your thoughts on whether buying a decent meter (or bringing in an installer who has one) is likely to give a significant improvement. The annoying/surprising thing is that 2 friends in the same town are both getting C5 etc. 24/7 (heavy rain excepted) on 70 cm dishes with supermarket LNBs - in one case with wires joined by just being twisted together [URL="http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/index.php?s=84eb2e1387a7b4d149ba2e6c5ba1955a&&app=forums&module=extras§ion=legends#"]:-wow[/URL] - although many other people have the same problem as me. I am about 100 k southeast of eubster [/QUOTE]
