[QUOTE="FRINGE, post: 649461, member: 336363"] Many thanks for the advice Hedley. I have the installers back out tomorrow evening and will talk to them about the tensioner's you suggested. Understand what you are alluding to - it may help for fine adjustment. What I can say is that the dish is very rigid and sturdy so flex or any other movement is virtually none existent. Have also seen reports that suggest its one of the best available offset's available. Returning to the Humax. Here are some readings taken today at 13:00. Channel Strength % Quality % BBC1 London 90 70 Channel 4 85 70 Meridian South 90 70 Five 85 70 ITV 4+1 90 70 More 4+1 85 70 So I am very happy with these and daytime picture quality is perfect. Obviously I do not know how 'accurate' the readings are, I guess its down to how the box interprets the signal that it gets. So that should be taken into account with any comparison to your Dreambox data. Also, we may have different dishes, we do have different LNB's and we do not live next door to each other so any [U]direct[/U] comparison (Humax v Dreambox) is very much open to debate. Having said all of that, it is of interest. You mention signal strengths in your reply, what's the quality like? or did you mean quality. Out of interest, I also tried two other receivers (Pace DS430N and a new but unknown German FTA box left by the installers) at night to see if they would restore reception but none did and I have found that daytime reception is better for me on the Humax. Have read many feeds and comments on the net regarding loss of reception in fringe areas. Now I am no expert but some (no most) just do not add up to me. Wobble of the earth, satellite batteries, equinox, etc, etc. None of this stands up to explain why signal quality is fine for many months (24/7) but not the next, especially when it deteriorates after 21:00 only to return again in the early hours of the following day. My new Invacom C120 LNB should arrive in the next 2 weeks and I will post the results from this change. Now that will be a good direct comparison. I just hope that the earth does not stop wobbling in the meantime because that would bugger up any worthwhile conclusions !!!! [/QUOTE]
