[QUOTE="radioagogo, post: 879786, member: 330380"] I did try a black ultra some time ago but found it slightly worse than the Invacom twin which must be six years old now I guess. I did have to realign the dish to pick up 10.906v, I could just about lock a picture on ITV Channel but it was pixellating badly but then I upset the multiplex on 11053h so I put it back. I remember reading somewhere that the feedhorn needs to be the right one for the Andrews dish, I brought mine over with me when we moved here 9 years ago from Eurosat in Exeter. They had a contact in Lanzarote who advised this was the best setup. Originally I had the single LNB but changed it for the twin later and it gave some improvement, that was in the 2D days. Milestone 11 has a boshmann and I had a play with that a couple of years ago, compared it to a black ultra, it was the difference between pixellating on the black ultra and a clear picture on the boshmann if I remember right, Milestone 11 perhaps remembers better. I have found by twiddling with the focal point I got a marked improvement, I have double checked the two halves of the dish are aligned too. I found that by pushing the feedhorn up by a few mil it gave a marked improvement, BER in the threethousands down to the fourhundreds by doing that. I haven't finished fiddling yet and will do more but at the moment 11053 and 11126 are pretty well there all the time during the day fading at around 9pm. I don't hold out much hope for BBC on 2e though, the dish just isn't big enough. I reckon it could be extended and someone on this forum has done it for C band but I don't think I can be bothered, as long as er indoors has her ITV soaps my life is sweetness and light.
