[QUOTE="Lancelot, post: 93031, member: 180265"] Oh dear........:eek: The dish has seen better days hasn't it ?. That and a 100m cable run of not the best quality will not be helping you. You have replaced the LNB, good. (though it probably isn't happy in the wrong mount) and almost certianly won't be working properly. You need to get an 80cm dish (very cheap these days). If you cannot shorten your cable run by a lot then you need to look at some better quality coax. Sometimes in a cable run of this length then a line amp may help, but they are never a substitute for a large piece of metal on the end of a short cable run. Look about and I'm sure that you will find some cheap replacements for what you have as they are a bit long in the tooth looking at them. Hope this helps. :) L [/QUOTE]
