Pics are not easy to get from the ground (about 9 floors up!) so I might have to harass Alan to letting me take some next time I go round though he's a touch odd on being in or out of bed due to working long security guard shifts.

Leave it with me.

Hey Kamaleon, have you tried mounting the Porty dish sideways? I got excellent results on Hispasat doing that - I even started yet another thread!

Only tried it at my parents' house though. I've yet to try it at my flat (there's been no objections from my folks so that Porty is staying there for when I'm over and the Sky+ is being hogged plus I have enough dishes as it is!)

It might be worth giving a go and seeing if it gives you any improvement. The signal readings for both horizontal and vertical transponders went up and all the transponders (that I tried) worked flawlessly even in a recent heavy downpour.

I was even getting a few good quality SNG/sports feeds from 30w.

Hey there skipo!!
Long time no see matey ;)
Yeah i've seen your new thread, that's what made me think i should update this very one too :D
Have only tried it once, a while ago. My porty's not being used now, though - i'm using quite substantially bigger dishes for the time being! I will post some pics here soon i hope ;)

Oh wow, I just found this! THANK YOU!

I no longer even have that set up, I have a Lidl camping dish (the plastic one) on Astra 1 working thro' a single glaze window at a different location!
