[QUOTE="TheToad, post: 831805, member: 341436"] The prime focus is not in a good way. Not just warped (fixed it many times and used strings to check if it's true) but the edges are also pretty badly dented and it was rather susceptible to twisting in the wind. It is a very very old dish. We only paid 15quid for it almost 3 years ago. The particular birds we need to watch are Amos 2 10722,10759,10806 and Amos 3 11389, The Amos 2 channels we could receive most with no problems, the Amos 3 channels almost impossible. We're based just South of Loughborough. My theory with rotating the dish is that in its normal orientation the V channels would be stronger because the dish is larger in that direction and the H not so because it is narrower, and therefore will not be getting as much of the horizontal signal. Regarding the rotating of the LNB, I'm not sure that would work on an oval dish because the LNB is designed to illuminate the dish in the same orientation as the oval shaped of the dish isn't it? I did try our C120 but that wasn't happy. [/QUOTE]
