[QUOTE="a33, post: 1033821, member: 332642"] (Pre)caution is good! As you use it to learn a few things, it seems. :) Just looked at the manual of plaza S2 ~ and it doesn't give the option of manual LOF settings in there, indeed. So you can only try a 'manual scan'; but that complicates the procedure, alas. It looks like you can choose to save or not to save the found channels on a manual scan. Otherwise you would have to delete the stored channels, afterwards. So you could test if the signal quality at 10718 (or 10710) MHz is better than at 10714 MHz, to see if the frequency has drifted. Don't know if trying to finetune the dish more in the direction of 28.5 (Astra 2E) would help. Thát you would have to try yourself (first by pushing the dish a bit in the wanted direction, and see if quality level rises?). BTW Have you checked skew of the LNB? Though 28.2 has a pre-skew of 7,5 degrees as far as I know; I've read somewhere that 28.5 has no pre-skew? Can someone confirm that? At your location: -22,7* with pre-skew, -30,2* without preskew. greetz, A33 [/QUOTE]
