[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1088981, member: 176704"] Weird "left of centre" thought! - could it be that the current arm is actually one from a smaller XP-series dish and so is shorter than it should be for the OP 100XP? ([URL='http://www.gibertini.it/index.php/en/antennas-uk/xp-series-uk']here [/URL]is the Gibertini webpage on the specs for the XP series - but it doesn't give the feedarm lengths)? If that were the case then the arm would locate the LNB holder nearer the dish, and lower than it should be, and thus the LNB would be "aimed" lower on the dish face than it should be, and so would have to be tilted upwards to be aimed at the "sweet spot". Thus, could you and [USER=414470]@Red alert[/USER] measure the lengths of your respective arms[I] (the ones on the dishes, not the ones you are "wearing" :)) [/I]to check that they are actually the same length?
