[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 1113228, member: 323322"] No. But the old LNB was clamped halfway along it's short neck. I fitted the IBU same, same but still had little joy. Moving it half an inch further away from the dish brought it in loud, stable and clear without degrading the other MTS outcomes. To complicate the exercise further, in the midst of initially pratting about with getting that TP yesterday, I suddenly lost power to the motor and LNB - assumed I'd had a DiSEqC switch failure but kept getting rained off. In between showers (and more!) today, I found the actual problem was total disintegration of the sheath of the cable from the switch to the motor. It had turned to powder and there was almost nothing left of the sheath. Stripped it back three inches and remade it. Nay bother. But the odd thing is that the switch is in a waterproof outer enclosure, which leads me to wonder if some sort of galvanic action has been going on. Who knows. [/QUOTE]
