Hi All,
Our 1.5m prime focus dish has taken too much of a battering this year and it's now just too difficult to maintain a decent reception.
Therefore we bought a 1.1m oval dish which is in much better condition, but we've found it's still quite tricky to get a signal on the channels we need because they are horizontally polarised which is of course using the narrow part of the dish.
If I were to rotate the dish 90 degrees, of course understanding that at the receiver I would need to swap V/H polarisation, would this work? Should I expect any particular problems with setup, besides the obvious mechanical problems of the mounting bracket?
many thanks in advance
Tony
