[QUOTE="geoffrey, post: 560151, member: 194666"] You may be interested in a comparison I did a few months ago between my ChannelMaster 1.2M and DH 3.6M dishes using the same Invacom LNB and cable for the measurements which were done within 20 minutes of each other. I also used a Satlook NIT for the measurements. At my site dish elevation is 53 degrees. On 11973V the measurements were: 1.2M 55.6dBV; S/N 3dB; calculated C/N 2.4dB 3.6M 63.2dBV; S/N 9dB; calculated C/N 7.5dB I found a Horizon meter invaluable in peaking the dishes because its display is much easier to see than the Satlook's in strong sunlight - its also more sensitive than the Satlook. On a Digibox I have been unable to receive the Astra 2A North beam transponders other than 12480V. I have blamed this on interference from Badr satellites due to the side lobe performance of the DH dish. Have you had any problems with these transponders ie Gold+1 on 11992H, Paramount Comedy 2 on 12148H and Sky2 on 12226H? [/QUOTE]
