Could be missalignment, what/which satellite did you use to set up for your due south? AF

I presume that you are useing USALS. Have you tried DISEQC to move the dish to 28east and further? AF

There are numerous other transponders on that beam with lower SR's, do you receive them OK? As has been stated, according to the footprint, you are getting towards marginal reception with your size dish. You could try tweaking your dish and changing the LNB skew to see if you get any improvement. AF

I thought that one of our electricity boards/suppliers was looking into that sometime last year. AF

Hi Rob Some cloud cover, some stars visible, very fine drizzle. SGUTV 1&2 some loss of signal but clear when locked. Looks like you might have to get a bigger dish m8 AF

With all the media frenzy about the marriage Tony and his gang will be slipping loads more nasties into the constitution and onto the statute books on the sly. Well, that's my opinion. AF

* Rob I carried out a scan of 53east over the lunch break. 85cm dish, 0.3dB lnb, 10m cable direct from lnb to receiver, receiver Technomate TM1000D. Weather, light rain/heavy drizzle. 11044V, 29800, 57% strength, 67% quality. channels received, 1-Muz BY, NEO TV, CTC+2, CTC+0, Muz TV-LoveRV...

Hi Rob SGU 1&2 on 11184V, 11111, 3/4, only 24% quality. 11183V, 3750, 3/4 colour bars feed. 11090H, 15000, 3/4, as stated very blocky last night, had clear picture earlier when the sun came out, not a glimmer now. Style is on that transponder. 85cm Gibertini Dish, 0.3dB Golden interstar LNB...

Back down to 9 fta channels from 15, last year it was only 2. Strongest here is 11044V, 29800, 3/4, then, 11097V, 10500, 3/4, then 11083V, 3750, 3/4. 11090H, 15000, 3/4, very blocky/pixilated, weather very misty, condensation running off of dish. Those H channels not included in the 9 V...

The fact that you get other sats ok does this mean that you are motorised? Is a tree/bush/neighbours new extension partially blocking the beam? Have you tried nudging the dish left/right by means of the facilities in your receiver? Have you tried pushing up/pulling down the bottom rim of the...

Hi CH I do not know about turning the wick up on this satellite but am still getting good signal levels since changing from 1.25m down to 85cm. The number of channels/transponders has increased over the last 3 months or so on this bird. AF

* Milkybarkid Is this how you got you name Jacque? by milking the cows that look over your back wall;) ;) .

* JohnC 1st Baltic fta, rescan 11843H, 27500, 3/4, PID's have changed, only one fta channel now. AF

Well done steffan-st, obviously a typo on the original post. I know I am getting senile and nearly in my dotage, but I just could not get the gist of your original figures. All clear now, hope the weather has settled over there, hazy sun at the moment, quite mild temperatures. Off to the coast...

* steffan_st Sorry for my remark "Have you got you numbers wrong?;) " The more I delve into "claimed gains for an antenna/dish" the more I realise that some sites/suppliers quote gains that differ from those quoted by another site/supplier for what is supposed to be the same antenna/dish. And I...
