[QUOTE="a33, post: 1041388, member: 332642"] Good work that you found both satellites! :) Looking at your pictures, I'm not sure: do you have the kind of multifeedbracket with which you can aim the LNBs higher or lower at the dish (turning point of the rail at the arm)? Then it looks like your LNBs might be aiming to high. But your pictures don't show clearly, it might be an optical illusion. We'd need a picture from the side of the dish. Aiming point should be about 40% of the hight of the dish, measured from the bottom. Feedhorns that are located too high would also account for the 'higher elevation angle' of the dish; that's why I thought about this possibility. Aiming the LNBs lower would mean adjusting dish elevation again, but all this would improve reception (a bit). I agree with the former posters that it would be better if you set both LNBs more equally distant from the arm, but that would mean you'd have to aim the complete dish again: whole dish more to the right, and elevation a bit higher. If you want to wait with that till better temperatures: You have my sympathy!
