Difficulties with Astra 28,2

[MyB5]

I just tuned in Astra at 28,2. I have problems with the lnb's skew settings....If I turn it clockwise (standing behind the dish) a little bit Sky sport and other Sky channels are find, but I "loose" Horror Channel +1 (Zone Horror) .
I know it's different skew settings for Astra 2D (gives me high snr) and Astra 2A south /north (low snr)..

What's the best compromize skew settings?

I'm living in southern Sweden and are using a small 65x55cm dish for Astra 28,2.


Thx,

hello,
you should turn the lnb clockwise standing in front of the dish.
if the cable attachment is normaly point down at 6 on the clock it should be at about 7 on the clock.
horror and sports are not on 2d at all .
bbc 1 2 3 and itv channels are there as well as some disney channels.
if you have a sky box and card look at the sig strength and quality.
this is set up on default 11727v and any change you make on dish is slow to respond on the box.
you want 80% strength or better and 50% quality or better.
if you can pick up bbc 1,bbc 2 on the astra 2 d its fine were as this is the weekest on the bird.

That's accounting for the -7° offset for Astra2 shown on dishpointer.

Depending on where you are, you need to apply LNb skew adjustment of somewhere between -6.5° and +1.0° for both or optimise for one.

maybe consider a larger dish.
