[QUOTE="Nick123, post: 18429, member: 175765"] This is reassuring news -thanks: it means that anyone in the Paris area with a larger-than-needed dish (80cm in my case) can replace it with something smaller come the next hurricane. I get 100% on signal strength and almost full marks for quality according to the Sky Box. I used to lose some channels during very heavy rain, but this happens in the UK too as far as I've heard - I read somewhere that for the UK you should have the lnb exactly vertical, but further south, like here, you should turn the lnb clockwise by about 10° (looking at the back of the lnb and facing the dish). Ive done this and it definitely seems to improve reception during the downpours. Don't skew it in the wrong direction as the signal dives to nothing very quickly! Nick [/QUOTE]
