[QUOTE="joddle, post: 1072515, member: 247983"] That surprises me. Did you get the channels before you changed the LNB? - and is the new one noted for being good for fringe reception? If the answer is yes to the first question then I would be looking at trying another LNB before anything else. I would have thought with a decent 1.8 and using a good LNB you would be home and dry for almost anything in that area. The very fact you lost picture when you simply slackened off a bolt seems to suggest the aim may not be quite optimal so maybe you need to push it slightly in the opposite direction to that which slackening achieves. I know beepers are hardly the best tool to use when adjusting but I find a simple tool like the one I have which is a beeper with a meter helps get a petty good dish alignment especially if you select your channels first - the skew is then another issue and requires very precise alignment - I mark every move with a pencil so I can always return to exactly to any previous setting. I am sure Worbony would check it out for you at a reasonable price if you can't get it better yourself. He has all the kit to ensure its spot on. [/QUOTE]
