[QUOTE="ched999uk, post: 876946, member: 401937"] Just re read fro the start of the thread. Am I correct in assuming that the f5s is just for 19.2e? If so then I would say it's not quite aligned or your zone 1 dish is not getting enough signal to feed the 19.2 lnb. Do you have a satellite meter of any sort? Even a cheapy one should help you get maximum signal as it sounds like you are almost there. Just very minor adjustments required, have you adjusted the skew or the lnb (It's the rotation of the lnb) ? Patience is one thing I think you might need. Sometimes if you are not having luck it is better to go inside have a cup of tea (would say beer but not advisable when ladders may be involved) and a break for 20 mins then come back and try again. I assume that you can't safely get a tv and the f5s box near the dish, then you could adjust lnb and view signal strength? Hope you get it sorted. I have a new zone 2 dish, octo lnb(that came with zone 2), quad lnb, multi lnb holder and DiSEqC switch to set up to receive 19.2e and 13e within the next 2 weeks so I can get F1 (13e just because I thought it might be fun to try multi lnb and I had spare lnb). So good luck and be patient and let us know how you get on. [/QUOTE]
