[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 895203, member: 196043"] It seems like every summer I'm changing something but here is my current setup in Helsinki. I swapped [url=http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/new-multi-lnb-setup-in-helsinki.15885]my old clear plastic 80cm dish[/url] with a Triax TD88 dish and rearranged some of the LNBs. I immediately saw an increase in signal levels over the old setup, especially on horizontal transponders. LNBs on the TD88 are looking at 28.2°E, 23.5°E, 19.2°E, 13°E and 5°E. The ex-BSB dish above it is looking at 1°W. On the other side of the balcony is another clear 80cm looking at a satellite next to Hispasat. Not pictured is a log periodic antenna for picking up DVB-T/T2 from Estonia and local Finnish channels. All LNBs connected to a DrHD F15 and a quad on 28.2°E is also connected to a Sky DRX890. On 28.2°E I can pick up the old satellites Astra 2A and Eutelsat 28A OK but I can't pick up Astra 2F at all and Astra 2E's lower transponders are just about visible during the mornings if it's not raining. On my old dish I couldn't see Astra 2E at all or a number of weaker transponders on Astra 2A and Eutelsat 28A. [/QUOTE]
