[QUOTE="trev1978, post: 1030989, member: 369429"] Thanks Guys, I am fairly well through my dish upgrades so all I can do is give it a try and at least I will know- I would always be wondering otherwise! I do have an old Spiderbox HD (which I hope is still working) so if i could get it maxed on the sat I could hook that up inside and check a reading. Are there any SD TP's on SES-5 that I could use on my portable meter? Sorry for my ignorance but i don't know the difference in the designation between SD & HD on the TP list. In theory I shouldn't have been able to get SD nordic beam. At that time I had got reception reports (I think on a different site) and there was another guy who was about 10 miles from me who claimed he was pulling a strong signal on a 1.2 meter dish. So I always felt my 1.9m prime focus was under performing. The situation is probably different with the new sats but at that time the footprint seemed to be much wider further north than indicated on the official maps. Thanks Trev [/QUOTE]
