This link is for the MTI LNB not the GT-PFS40

I am interested in purchasing this LNB Any ideas of suppliers ?

Why Eurobird 1 ?

Actually the trre to the left is slightly in front of the dish but not blocking the view to the satellite. I guess what I wonder is if noise from the tree could be affecting reception.

Actually I'm talking about the tree to the left of the picture. I now realise my question was unclear, not helped by the picture I attached. Hopefully this new one will help.

I attach a picture of my 2 metre dish which I am using in Sweden to pick up Astra 2D. As you can see from the picture it is position right next to a tree. I wonder if the tree is influencing reception of the 2D signal in any way ?

I agree totally. The day I got the BBC and the other free to air/view channels was a very important step in making my life in Sweden enjoyable. Being able to listen to 5 live football, watch Match of the Day, Have I got news for you, Question of Sport, Dragon's Den etc etc is something I really...

There is some slack and because of this the dish moves in gusts of wind. I've already found the satellite I'm looking for (Astra 2D) but I'm looking to solve the movement problem.

I have a prime frocus dish which was previously motor driven. The linear actuator is still attached ( the green rod in the picture). Are there any reasons to keep it in place or can it be removed ?

He hasn't got a hope with a 1 metre dish in Gothenburg. It amazes me how little these installers know about Astra 2 D.

Here is a list of the games being shown on canal + Sweden over the next few weeks http://www.canalplus.se/page.asp?guid=A60D42FF-B00F-4440-A84F-A5E9B92CDEF8&category=F9980F5D-6D39-4DC3-9F6C-25C0AC7898D0&showall=1

I live in Sweden and pay ca £196 for Canal + a year. For that you get to see about 7 live games a week.

Actually I need this feedhorn because of the shallowness of the dish. The f/d of the dish is 0.53 whereas most prime focus feedhorns only cover the range 0.33-0.42. Since I added this feed instead of an old prime focus feed I have a significantly better signal/quality reading for the horizontal...

Yes it has been a long time but with very little result. But at last I have improved quality by a good 10-15% so I'm encouraged. The feed I am using is the Swedish microwave XM 601 . Is it possible I need to add a polariser to improve the 2D verticals?

I'm located in Sweden and have just changed the feedhorn on a prime focus dish and noticed a marked improvement of the quality levels for the horizontal channels on Astra 2D . At the same time the vertical channels which i could get at certain times of the day are now totally gone. How can this...
