Hmm, yes, there is clear difference in skew between the two sats.
...but re-skewing just now still hasn't solved the original problem...
I am unable to lock on to 11426H or V at the moment with either of the Humax boxes.
In fact, the SatLook meter can't get a lock on 11426V/H either, no matter what skew...
It is worth noting that 11426 is one of those frequencies with both H and V polarisations.
So absolute signal strength is no indicator - the real crucnch comes from the H/V separation.
So I plugged the output of CM180 dish into Crazyscan:

As can be seen, 11426 is quite weak, and no lock is achieved, even though the ghost of a QPSK signal is evident.
Hmm.... what to think?
Well, the CM180 is peaked on 2G at the moment, so what if I was pointing straight at 2E?
To see if you can get better result on 2E, i hooked up the recently arrived Triax 120 PF dish, which happened to be pointing at 2E.

Aha! Less signal strength, but more quality...
My current conclusion:
The CM180 is well aligned for 2G.
And works for 2E with frequencies that don't share polarisation.
Due to the slight mis-alignment of the CM180, 11426 comes in strong in terms of absolute signal strength, but it's all a jumble.
The Triax is pointing at 2E, meaning that it does bettert separation of H and V on those transponders.
So for better 11426 reception, I should re-align the CM180, then re-scan the FoxSat HDR.
But before that, I will try re-tune the FoxSat HDR on the Triax dish first, from which it should pick up all necessary signalling.
The only viable long-term solution still seems to be two (or evne three) dishes looking at 28.2, 28.35 and 28.5 respectively.
But that's another project!
