[QUOTE="alec, post: 829805, member: 176125"] Hi rodscha, I'll post the info as soon as I receive the dish and get it fitted. I've also ordered a pair of inline signal boosters (see my last post) after verifying that the friend I mentioned is still receiving all relevant 2F channels 24/7 on a 70 cm dish.She's probably just in a local hotspot where "a dustbin lid and a bent coathanger" would pull in everything, but I figured that for 10 EUR it's at least worth a try. Might just tip the balance by offsetting some of the losses in the cables. Like Gigioman I also noted a much stronger signal yesterday, despite bad weather - 4/7 was viewable on the Toppy with no breakup at all (quality reaching 80% at times, viewable with a few artefacts on the less-sensitive Foxsat) until around 18:00 and didn't disappear until much later in the evening. I normally lose signal quality on Ch 5 entirely by 17:00 - 19:00. It's normally strongest during the morning (~8:00 to 12:00). [/QUOTE]
