[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 1014677, member: 176256"] That seems very low for a dish that big on a European beam transponder. How did you connect your meter to the LNB? Using a known, good patch lead? Or was some of the existing downlead used? Was the known working LNB still working after it was taken away? It could have co-incidentally decided to fail just at that point! Pressed steel dishes do deteriorate with rust on the reflective surface. This is normally a problem near to the sea. Other deterioration possible is distortion, say by a heavy hailstorm or vandalism. This should be obvious though. What type of dish is this 1.25m one? When playing around with the LNBs did you make sure that the skew was correctly adjusted? Getting this wrong could have exactly the kind of effect that this setup is showing. [/QUOTE]
