[QUOTE="joddle, post: 1072700, member: 247983"] Looks like its down to the dish or LNB then. Any idea of the make of dish? - as said before, a photo would help here. My setup In Javea is using a 25 year old 1.2 PF dish with an Inverto Pro C120 LNB and the original dish feedhorn and gets almost everything with pretty good SS and SQ, The skew setting took great care - a smidgen of a degree making all the difference for some channels so thats why I mark out my start position with a pencil first before moving anything. One of those beeper meters may help you with the aim - I set the receiver to a difficult channel then adjust the dish for max signal then bolt down hard and then tweak the skew. Not as good as using a pro bit of kit obviously but gets a pretty good aim. Have you tested for dish warp yet? I still find it hard to understand why you are having issues with a 1.8 dish unless something is pretty off somewhere. Are any of the arms showing any signs of previous bending or distortion?
