[QUOTE="TheToad, post: 794734, member: 341436"] Hi All, We have moved from Newark-on-Trent to just near Loughborough and we've totally lost signal on Amos 2. We had a strong signal in our previous location and we've only moved about 20km west and 30km south so should have a comparable signal. No comes the crunch. In the new garden we have a high fence right where we need to aim the dish. I've got the dish sat 6 layers of brick above ground. The bottom rim of the dish would be about 2m below the top of the fence and is 5m away. With an angle of 29 degrees to get the signal I've worked out that the dish is more than far enough away. i also get great signals from 0.1degree West and 4.8 East (ok, that's a strong signal and we're dead in the middle of the footprint). Is it feasible that we could completely lose signal with a relatively short distance move? I've triple checked all the equipment and setup and even move the receive outside near to the dish to try with only 5m of cable. Any suggestions or feedback would be appreciated. Failing that, anybody want to buy a 1.6m aluminium motorised dish with V-box II and lots of cable? thanks in advance Tony [/QUOTE]
