Unfortunately when i moved into the house years ago i made the sky tech put the dish is what i thought was a smart place. Its a pig to get to just to change the lnb removing the dish might be even harder. If i decide to go down that route i can place it just above head height on the south wall. I've got a mate who owns a sat shop having a look around to see if he has anything lying around.
Well i ended up find a mk2 legacy holder. This converts the dish i have to the lnb that i had bought. I got it from a friend at a local sat shop. Even though i have peaked the lnb on the dish i cannot say i am happy with the signal levels. 82% on bbc one north but 63% on gbnews. Although i did not use my satellite meter i used the enigma 2 webif sat meter and put the lnb to the front and two the back and tried scewing lnb and that is the best i could get. All the pictures are fine i expected a higher signal level. It maybe to lnb is not the best for the bracket, plus on the gigablue the levels seem about 10% down anyway.
Gb news is lower signal than bbc for me, but both are low for you.
Yes tried flexing the dish arm up and down, wiggling dish etc it made it worse, might have another play tomorrow. I have a twin smart titanium on my big dish I could swap out for a inverto black ultra and put the twin on the sky dish. We will see.
What was the signal level on the old lnb (on those 2 channels)?
I think it was about 8% higher but i was getting glitching on gbnews on the odd occasion. I tried the 2nd feed from the dish which has been spare and there was nothing. I'd checked the cables for shorts previously. I might set up a camping dish in the morning and try the old lnb on the middle two unused lnb ports to see if its totally dead.
