Different transponders will produce different signal quality readings, what's your reading for 11727 H 27500?

1m channel master, jaeger smr1224, Inverto black ultra twin, technomate tm-1500ci, broken receiver vantage x221ci, New additions Skybox F5s and technomate tm-5402 HD arriving soon.

I'm further east and here a 1m at least for these channels to give plenty of rain margin for bad weather as i notice the signal lowers at night.

i would say check the dish alignment and also get a good quality lnb like the inverto black ultra.

2mb sometimes works broadband but most of the time is faulty
1.2metre dish with technomate 6800 sitting in shed will go up a some point

1 meter dish can get the sd channels in Liverpool but really struggles on the hd channels

A well alligned TD110 and Inverto Black Ultra will do it. If you want extra margin go for a 1.25 gibby, that will pull it in no problems. Anything smaller than the TD110 is going to really struggle with 12456h (prem HD) if it will even pull it in at all.

If you trying to watch them on the dm500 then you won't be worrying about the hd channels,

I wouldn't recommend anything less than a 1 meter on that bird, but you should be able to tweak it to pull in the pl extra channels.

Did you set the dish up yourself ? If so try fine moving the motor east and west to see if you can peak the signal
