[QUOTE="Fisty McB, post: 1120881, member: 389824"] I've used several of those rails in the past & present for multi-lnb setups. The rail, whilst generally stiff, can be bent with a bit of force where it might help. Alternatively, I've often found that for the more easterly satellites away from the focus come in a little better if the LNB is tilted backwards a little bit i.e. the face of the LNB looks slightly more upwards towards the dish, and the best way I've dealt with this is to use a small bit of a thin cable tie (e.g. 3mm) placed between the LNB holder and the rail below the screws - this tilts the bracket up slightly as you screw it to the rail to give a better signal. Also, if you have two LNBs touching each other where the outer of the two LNBs gets a better signal if you force it to look more towards the centre of the dish, but the bracket can't hold the LNB in that position, use an object to bridge the gap between the body of the two LNBs in question that'll stay put - I just use a small stone jammed into place.
