[QUOTE="dvmedia, post: 125431, member: 193651"] Why do I always get at least some sparklies? I've used 3 different dishes and 3 analogue recievers in the past.. I can often get some channels, ie. CNBC without any sparklies, and Eurosport with very very few.. But most of the time I have at least a couple invading my analogue picture.. Now I'm not really complaining as I use digital, and even when I did watch analogue a couple of sparklies didn't bother me. - It's just all you guys seem to get near perfect reception! I use a 60cm black mesh dish, and in theory I should be able to get sparkly free reception with such a dish, except on the weakest of the weak (ie. MTV) I don't use a signal meter (is this the problem?), I just get my TV and Analogue stb in the garden and do it by whats on the screen... I have adjusted the dish from left to right, and the elevation, and my optimum is still not perfect. Something I did think of was the "Skew", which I've heard of, but I'm not really sure about this. It would be nice to overcome this problem, because if I could get sparkly free reception then it would probably increase my 19.2e digital signal as well (which is about 70% strength and quality on most transponders) Thanks guys, [/QUOTE]
