[QUOTE="johnshephard, post: 502919, member: 285357"] Thanks for that suggestion Jimbo, I will take another look when the weather is better. My initial thoughts are that I’m pretty spot on. I spent quite a bit of time setting it up, in fact I spent a couple of weeks with a 30cm dish pointing it at different satellites to try and learn things. Once I got my 1m dish in place and tightened it up 90% I moved it in each direction 4 or 5 mm virtually by stressing the bracket. Each direction the signal dropped. I also get Arabsat on the same dish. The arabsat footprint includes Crete and has strength and quality both 70%. During the rain the arabsat signal quality did not alter. I point at Astra directly and get arabsat with an off centre LNB. Do you have any thoughts, without rain, why different frequencies on the same satellite with the same signal strength have different signal quality? Cheers John [/QUOTE]
