[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1018586, member: 369937"] How close to the Equator are you? One big problem with going to a bigger dish too close to the Equator is the fact that most dishes over 4 meters are mostly solid dishes, these can be rain and leaf catchers, this can cause signal loss if not cleaned on a regular bases. Your using a 1.8 meter dish right now for "C" band, this is a bit under sized, so going bigger would be the best solution, I would suggest at least a 3 meter dish in size, (standard for most consumer "C" band setups) you can get some nice mesh dishes in that size range. And here state side we always recommended at least a 5 meter dish (or larger depending on the location) for the "C" band feeds at cable head ends, this helped with weather fading problems. Just changing out the LNB may only get you a few more dB in the signal department, (might not be enough) one question, how far away from the receiver's is the dish located and what type of coax was used?
