I have a 1m dish attached to a SG-2100a that was installed around a month ago. The pole is dead straight and whilst the whole thing works fine, I have noticed a curious issue in that if I approach satellites up to and including 1W from the east then I get better signal if I approach from a satellite to the west. However, the opposite is true of eastern satellites. For instance if I want to goto 36E, I get better signal approaching from 33E or beyond rather than from 39E and beyond. For, say, 15W, I get better signal approaching from 12.5W and beyond rather than 18W and beyond. Anyone else have any ideas what's going on here or is this normal? I am using DiSECQ 1.2 if that makes any difference but I'm pretty sure I observe the same issue with USALS. The difference is usually marginal but it can make the difference on some weak feeds or channels between receiving it fine and it breaking up.
