Where are you located (nearest big town)? Theres no point asking any questions without this vital info.

Does your dish only have one lnb on it? If so then of course you are going to have to move the dish around if you want to watch satellites in different places around the orbital arc.

Did you initially set the dish up on 1W? If not, it wont be tracking the arc properly.

Thats your problem then. A motor installation must be set up on the south position first. Try finding 11189 V 2142 3/4 or 11325 H 24500 7/8. These are reasonably strong in much of the UK.

Hi,
How mush % of signal increase approximately to expect if replace 0.9m offcet dish with 1.2m offset? Is signal(in %) increasing proportional to antenna area increasing?
Thanks,
