[QUOTE="Mickha, post: 1136139, member: 187442"] I think you should raise the dish, if only temporarily, and see if your signal quality improves. I know photos can shorten, or lengthen, distances, but that doesn't look like 2.5M, from the LNB, to the wall, but then again the wall looks taller, so perspective is difficult. Using dishpointer, and my location, it estimates that for a distance of 2.4M the object needs to be less than 1.2M, to avoid signal degradation, for 16.7E, but this measures from the base of the dish, not the LNB. The distance, from the dish, to the LNB, shouldn't affect the signal received, this is from the satellite, to the dish. The fact that your dish is now bigger, so probably is lower down, at least at the bottom, is more likely the problem. I would like to know the signal quality readings, on 19.2E, as the further East you go the lower the satellite, from your high point, which is your true south, logitude, reading. [/QUOTE]
