[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1066017, member: 369937"] The "S" in the 80's is nothing to worry about, it's the "Q" you need to tweak a bit. The "S" is just a calculated signal strength from the LNB out to the receiver, the only way to fix this is better coax or a shorter run of coax to the receiver. The "Q" can be adjusted, try this, bring out a small TV set and the receiver (or a receiver) out to the dish, then using very small movements, push up or down on the dish, if the "Q" goes up then re-adjust the elevation, if that does nothing then push it ever so slightly left or right, if the "Q" goes up then re-adjust the direction accordingly. The same can be done for the "Skew" of the LNB, but you need to do very very small movements for this If the "Q" does not change with any movment then the only choice to improve the "Q" would be a bigger dish. (go back to the one meter dish) [/QUOTE]
