Hello, can anybody help me or give me some advice. I have a good quality (80% SNR) with sky channels, MTV, discovery, etc but getting a very low SNR on BBC, ITV, CBS, E4, etc channels. I'm locked on the Astra 28.2 East using the cateye bouquet. I am based in Spain, my setup is a 120cm dish...

hi everyone, ok I set the lnb as best as i could to -21.7º. Now I can get more channels.. all the mtv, itv etc.. but not bbc.... I see that some channels have a very low LNR, national geo for example. Is there any program or way to be 100% certain that its on -21.7º? Another thing to be able to...

I notice that some channels have a very low snr % . What could I do to fix this?

things great so far. :) How would you optimise LNB skew? where can you see this on the meter? another thing how would i get the free uk channels , say bbc... staying on the legal side of things.

here are the photos:

Finally!!! Thanks guys, I have been on this for weeks, set the dish to 37º as advised. Posting an image of the meter. Is the quality ok? the channels seem fine... Next will try the monoLNB. Thanks again! really great thing, these forums! With real people! :)

the meter image is relevant as I was scanning for the hotbird to no avail. One more thing, on the sat mount should the degrees be upside down?.. not sure if i installed the dish upside down.

ok, I will try to get one to test the cable... I couldnt get anything on the reciever so I checked the dish again.. I seem to have lost the sattelite on its own... strange. is it possible to tell the angle from the attached photo.. I am not sure where to read from as there is two sets of...

it must be the cable as I tested with a manufactured cable that I bought and the antenna overload on the satlink went away.. positioned the dish to the astra 28.8E as best as i could and got a strength of 93 and quality 34. is this good? With the satlink was able to browse through some german...

I should be receiving the single LNB on tuesday.. quick question about my current setup. I have this satlink 6908 that I bought cause the simple sat finder meter wasnt working...anyway I keep getting a message: antenna overload! I bought a atenuator 20db but same message... Any ideas what this...

thanks guys for the advice very appreciated. I will try first with the single lnb, then work into more complex setups.

Thanks, ok will try the LNB Single Black Ultra 0,2dB. Also I was thinking to get a motor, because I am having trouble positioning the dish. Like the PowerTech DG-280, would I still have to be precise with the position or would it find the satelite on its own?

Thanks for the reply. Any good LNB that you would recommend?

I have been working with this setup for weeks with no luck: Vu+ Solo - 100cm Dish - Dual LNB: monoblock LNB - Satlink WS-6908 Satellite finder. I am trying to get a signal from the Satellite Astra 2a/2b. I get signal overload and dont know where to start. Could it be the 100cm and lnb setup?
