It's always better to buy a bigger dish than you really need, in your situation you should have bought the 2.4 meter Channel Master or even a 3 meter dish.

Playing with different LNBs doesn't make any great impact, alway buy the biggest you can afford.

It might have been directed at me Corrigap... Anyway, getting a 2.4 or a 3metre CM is out of the question. I dont have that amount of cash or space to make it worth while. As I only lose V Channels anyway, it simply isnt worth it. The small cost of getting the Invacom is well worth the cost, because I am experiencing some pixelation in bad weather occasionally.

I currently use a MTI AP82-TW 0.6dB LNB, and was thinking upgrading to something better. Current reception is good all day, but during bad weather, such as heavy rain or snow, I get pixilation. This happens only in the evening during a small period between say approx 8pm and 11pm. I have attached a makeshift cover for my LNB, which has worked a treat to keep the rain and snow away from the front of the feedhorn (it has improved reception during bad weather), but I still get slight pixilation during bad weather. Is there anyone in the South Sweden area using a better LNB which with eliminate the occasional pixilation?
Oh yes, the slight pixilation occurs on 2D horrizontal H transponders. I still receive no channels on V transponder. Would the upgrade in your opinion achieve V channel reception?
Before anyone says, align the dish better or change the skew...I have already done this to its maximum (I think!!!)... Thanks.

I have bought a All Weather Protection Booster from www.schlueter-enterprises.com. Since than I have no issues with Snow, rain and I have even during summertime a much better signal plus it is really inexpensive.

Greetings:)
