[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 940486, member: 176256"] Well, the quad LNB is certainly in the right position for 28E. Not so sure about the one 19E but if you get a strong enough signal for your purposes then leave it alone. [I]1. Should the actual dish be realigned bearing in mind it originally was set up for 19.2º and 28.2º?[/I] Not specifically. You make the alignment for the one that's most important and then make the secondary one fit as best as possible. As far as I can see the 28E LNB is already in its best position on the dish. [I]2. Does cleaning the dish make any significant difference?[/I] Not until the dish is overgrown with moss. It's just cosmetic reasons for most cleaning. [I]3. Should I consider a change of the quad lnb (I suspect it is of Sharp manufacture but I am not sure) to a higher spec and if so what make/model? I have seen Invacom C120 and Inverto Black Ultra mentioned?[/I] The Invacom Quad has had a good reputation in Spain for many years. Some people rate the Inverto Black Ultra as being pretty good as well but equally some have not. [I]4. I am reasonably confident that the cabling and installation is to a good quality and standard so I see no need for changes in this area.[/I] OK. [I]5. ???[/I] It would come under the "adjusting for best signal" but the skew of the LNB is critically important in fringe reception. [/QUOTE]
