[QUOTE="skomedal, post: 894937, member: 280388"] As the nights are drawing in and the tv season approaches decided to make the temporary setup more permanent. Was doubtful if the lnb holder was the correct one as it pointed to low, so after getting inspiration from this thread [url]http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/lnbs-aiming-point.160762/[/url] set about making my own tools to see how and if I could correct the error. Found an old Nokia lnb and stripped it down removing the end cap and all the workings including the H & V pins in the cavity. Put some O-rings on the red laser pen ( used for pointing out stars and planets ) so it was a tight fit inside the lnb cavity. Lowered the dish so resting on the extra fitted brackets and at working height, then mounted the modified old nokia lnb with laser into the holder and yes it was pointing a little low, so corrected the aim, then mounted a working lnb again. So came the tweaking part ( 12" tv and sat. receiver on the veranda ) first the pointing and elevation using sky news tp, then fine tuning BBC3 as vertical tp signals are slightly stronger here. And then finally the lnb skew. Managed to get 65Q on BBC3 and 62Q on BBC2HD in light cloudy weather ( have not tried rain fade yet ), that was 2 days ago, have followed since then and the freesat signals follow the same routine, start ~0900 cet and end ~1500 cet at this, location confirming my theory the sat. has a wobble making fringe reception more difficult. Will save up for a larger dish next year. Regards [ATTACH]67196[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]67197[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]67198[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]67199[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]67200[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]67201[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
