The dish should realistically be able to move further than 30w, as there is no structures in the way, but I have never needed to go past 30w, so I have never tried. Thanks for the calculation :). It is amazing how much pressure can be put on the dish due to wind. Thank you for the responses...

Not sure if it might be a factor but my dish is mounted in quite an open area, not coastal but the Northern Irish wind does seem to hit it quite forcefully.

It has been up for around 5 years now. I will post some photos of the inside of the casing when I get the new motor

Is it possible that it could have been that the dish is too heavy for the motor and that is what might have caused this, when driven towards 30w? If this is the case, is there any other motors that would be able to support the weight of the dish, or is the tm2600 as good as it gets for Diseqc...

Thanks for the advice everyone. I will buy a new motor and ensure that it does not go past 30w in the future. :)

Hi all, I am currently using a Skybox V8S with a motorised setup (TD110 dish and TM2600 motor). I had noticed some slight signal decrease over time on most satellites, and yesterday I went to do a channel scan on 30w. The dish started to move as usual, but when it reached 30w it made a horrible...

Hi all, I have decided to sell my Vu+Solo 2 receiver. The reason for selling this receiver is that I just haven't been able to have time to watch TV via the receiver, due to university/ commitments. I purchase the receiver for £319 (price slightly higher due to delivery charge to Northern...

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. :)

Hello all, I am just posting to compare my SNR levels with other members of the forum. This is just to see if I am achieving the expected SNR levels for Northern Ireland. I would be very grateful if Northern Ireland members of the forum could post their SNR levels, but it would be great to get...

Thanks for the reply, they are coming through now for me, which is strange, it was really foggy here last night, but don't think that would have made much of a difference, as I was getting 90-100% on every other channel on 13e, thanks for the help everyone :).

Yeah, they are not in my channel list, I was using the VHannibal settings file, and when I went to these channels the SNR was 0%, so I tried to scan 13e again, and now they are not in my channel list.

Hello all, I am having a problem receiving certain transponders on Hotbird 13e, the transponders in question are from the same package, that being N (Poland), or as was listed on receivers as ITI, some of these common channels were nPremium HD, 1,2,3,4, and many other Polish HD channels. I am...

Hello, my dish is a 1.1m Triax dish, and you are correct when the signal drops the only real problem is on 7.0e, and some channels on 0.8w (especially the HD channels, in which the picture is affected when the signal strength is at around 56%, the signal drop on the other satellites has never...

Thanks for the information everyone, I will try somethings tomorrow and see what happens. :)

Thanks for the quick response, I will try to get some water repellent tomorrow and post the results tomorrow. The most problematic satellite is 9E an below 35 percent causes pixelation. I really appreciate the response. Thank you
