[QUOTE="Mike4t, post: 148645, member: 195112"] Sorry to harp on,,, but pointing the dish in the right direction will not be good enuff, as you are getting Sky news and a few others this indicates that you are in the right direction,, however the channels you want are much weaker than the south beams you seem to be ok on,, but you say your neighbours are receiving ok on a 1.2m, (I assume also that youre dish is identical,,) so there is no reason why you should not be the same except for the following, Digibox not good enough, therefore you need to borrow a DS430 or Pace 2600 and confirm, if this does not work,, using the same box that is good with your neighbours try the following Adjust Skew and focal length to be identical to others, ensure that direction and elevation are exactly the same, note that even a millimetre off can make a difference, for ITV BBC you are working at extremes relatively speaking. Bear in mind that with manufacture tolerances you may need to be a little different to an identical system to get the same results after this work if you still cannot get any improvement, you need to start looking at your LNB, connections joints and cable is correct. Finally all the info you need will be on this site here _http://homepage.ntlworld.com/de.sullivan/#intro [/QUOTE]
