[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 892547, member: 196043"] Finally got the dish finished, aligned to 1W and wires tucked away.:-woohoo I had it temporarily on 7W for a couple of weeks and was able to get a fair few transponders, including MBC and Fox but there wasn't much room for rain fade. Interestingly I compared a Black Ultra single and a Black Ultra twin and the single out performed the twin by several % on many transponders (both LNBs had red text labels, although somewhat sun bleached!). Now at its permanent home of 1W I've got a nice strong signal on all transponders, some showing a good 10% higher than on the 90cm so hoping this should help in bad weather. The old 90cm is now looking at 5E with 9E and 13E offset LNBs. Thanks to CJ for supplying the CM120 dish and everyone else who offered advice and observations. [/QUOTE]
