[QUOTE="dankargo, post: 985408, member: 402329"] Hi all, I've been posting recently how my signal levels have somewhat dropped slightly in the past few months, which has led me having to manually edit the satellite positions to get them at their peak. (0.8w > 1.2w, 16.0e > 15.6e). I was given some advice to try tweaking my longitude settings using the same 0.4 offset as I had to the satellite positions. So I went from 0.017 E in longitude to 0.057 and quite surprisingly, doing this and putting the satellite positions back to their original positions has sorted everything out. The dish is located near to the chimney which is pretty difficult to get to so I am massively grateful to the user that suggested this. Is it common practice to need to tweak longitude every few years or whenever there is a noticeable difference in signal levels, is it something you guys have done before with your motorised setup? I am a little concerned though that the dish has most likely gone out by 0.4 degrees (especially with the strong winds season approaching!) [/QUOTE]
