those interested in the signal and not tv programs.
For sure, I am one of them. It is very hard to see data on your screenshots. I think you better place higher resolution screenshots. On pictures ~50KB details are not visible.
 
You're right and now I see that the images are too small to be analyzed,I will have to post them from hostsite :(
I wanted to fulfill the requirements of this forum to post ours files on their server.It looks like it does not work that way :(
 
All the pictures that I post now are related to my previous page ,which I like to hope,is relevant to those who are interested.










 
...continue from the previous post again:








Any observation and opinion is welcome :)

Knowing that the wife and kids would be away for the day and spurred by the promise of sunny weather (it wasn't), I took the day off work to sort out the T90.

Over the past few years, I've slowly by surely lost satellites one by one until only 28.2E remained. Oddly, it was at almost full strength, so I wasn't sure if all other LNBs died, the switch died or the receiver wasn't sending correct DiSEqC commands. In the end, it was nothing more than alignment issues, though a couple of LNBs did die.

My original range was 15W to 28E, though there is now nothing really worth watching on 15W, so i thought I'd repurpose that for 1.9E. I also moved the centre satellite to 13E-ish.

I am still not happy with its performance and many a times I thought I'd simply replace it with either a Fibo 90 or 1m Channel Master dish on 1224 motor. But the appeal of instant satellite switch is winning so far. I find that even the strongest satellites, like 13E, are not as strong as I'd expect them to be on effectively a 90cm dish. It doesn't help that many transponders have moved to less forgiving parameters, needing better quality signal to actually work.

I still haven't gotten around to fitting @RimaNTSS's custom LNB bar and holders, owing to total lack of time but it will allow for much more control of each LNB.

T90, great for speed, crap for signal. Still use mine everyday. Works like an 80cm in the centre and 60cm at the end of the bar.
 
Sort of. I adjusted each LNB for best signal, which is generally pointing towards the centre but some LNBs seem to be picking up stronger signals from 'sidelobes'.
