[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1150426, member: 176704"] Having only this morning looked at specs and images of the TS80 range, the feedarm-to-dish mounting and the elevation adjustment arrangements look very similar to those of the much earlier versions (of which, over time, I unfortunately acquired 3 different units - TD65, TD75 & TD110!) - and which garnered much (justified!) critiscm about the problems in setting them up. In that context, the feedarm-to-dish mounting arrangement is a "pig" as, if not done correctly[I] (and that, IMO, means replacing the plastic plugs holding the arm in place by bolts & nuts!)[/I] that can allow the arm & LNB to swivel slightly but noticeably up and down - which could mean that the LNB can be in an incorrect position w.r.t. the correct focus point for another reason apart from incorrect arm length. That's another reason why I fitted bracing brackets between the edges of the dish and the feedarm just in front of the LNB clamp. [/QUOTE]
