1.8m old dish
DS430
- My Location
- Javea Spain
Can any satellite boffins advise me to what extent a badly (hand )painted dish--giving 1 -2 mm of irregularity due to the paint will have on reception in a fringe area. I am in the process of trying to carefully remove the said paint, and would appreciate any recommendations which might improve the reception ,ie sanding, respraying or polishing ! Dish is 1.8 m fibreglass prime focus, and old , but I cant afford a new one!-- Reception area --Costa Blanca with usual 2d reception problems. Have just put Invacom twin lnb as recommended by a few contributors...large improvement on old lnb except for low frequencies (10714). Also what is the cause of signal loss in the evenings here... is it a slight refraction or what?..2
