I'm not too far from you. What size dish are you using for the 22W/30W? I'm not getting much more than a peep with 98cm.

First time in ages Ive had a chance to tinker with the dishes & I found at least 3 dead lnbs.....

I was wondering why Id lost 46E - nothing was obviously awry & the supporting post Id driven into the ground to strap that dish arm to hadnt moved. Close examination showed a hairline crack in the lnb cover, & when I prodded it my finger went through the plastic! The throat was full of water & the lnb H & V probes were rusty.... Now I know why it wasnt working. So that one has gone in the recycling bin. A couple of the inverto RT duals seem to be dead as a dodo too, although they have been put on one side for further investigation. Ive not had much luck with these - Ive had a spate of failures - often losing the H polarity on them
