[QUOTE="digdog, post: 343621, member: 175295"] Signal improvements in Sats that came in good before are not real improvements as such - you still get the same channels. :) :) Where you will gain is on weaker transponders and Sats - stuff that was marginal before will probably be solid now...and for me that is worth having. With a digital signal there is a threshold where you either get the signal or you dont - this is sometimes called the digital cliff. Once you have got over this and got the channel solid, for practical purposes no further signal strength improvement will improve your picture. And as a general rule you wont need much skew as the motor/dish movement pretty well sorts this automatically. Best compromise for me was to set lnb dead vertical on Thor - and then move lnb in/out a little from dish just to get that last little bit more signal. And as others have said always go for best quality. Hope this helps a little..:) [/QUOTE]
