[QUOTE="Zorba, post: 345214, member: 176203"] Most of the sky package we get over here usually works okay on a 2.4m dish.When someone wants a 3m or bigger its to get bbc/itv on 2D .So,because the dish is bigger I dont have to worry about 2A 2B etc because if the dish is slightly off those sats you wouldnt notice.Thats why I set my sat meter to a 2D frequency,and align the dish for maximum signal.Its only recently that ch4 sky three etc have gone weak,so now,after I have aligned the dish for ,say,bbc 1 frequency I can instantly switch my meter to the ch4 frequency and see the signal strength and then I know whats going on and what to do. On a spectrum analyser each"spike" is a frequency which might have one channel or 10 or 20(radio included).and the spikes are not equal length some longer some shorter.This applies to all satellites.Obviously the longer the better and i can switch from high,low vertical and horizontal and see differences but theres much more involved in aligning and thats what seperates the cowboys and the professionals. Now where did I park my horse? [/QUOTE]
