[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1138602, member: 178786"] You could try either an external 5G waveguide filter or an LNB(F) with some type of 5G filter built in to it. The other point to consider is the receiver. I had some slight freezing using a Dr HD F15 receiver even though the signal level was above the lock level. When I switched over to an RX8200 receiver the picture was smooth and flawless. There might be some transport stream factors that prevent older consumer grade receivers rendering smooth video? I would try one or two alternative receivers first and if no better consider buying some type of 5G filtering hardware. The signal level at the moment on the Globecast feeds for a Southern UK location is reasonable, I am getting a steady 7.8dB from a 2.0m Precision Antennas prime focus dish located in Surrey. This was a [I]"quick dish up job"[/I] without adjustment of the feed distance from the dish, I just lashed it on at 5mm inside the focal length of the dish and optimised the scalar position. It needs 6.6dB for a lock. [/QUOTE]
