[QUOTE="archive10, post: 1000515"] Agree. Especially as the bigger the dish, the narrower the beamwidth. And the difference between C5 and BBC is 0.2 or 0.3 degrees. I can feel it on my CM180. It's pointing at 28.5 at the moment, and I have lost the high-FEC stuff on 2G during most of the day. I would have to adjust like you do, but this is rather cumbersome without motorisation. OTOH, as the Jonsa dishes are hard to assemble to achieve the same accuracy as a single piece SMC dish, the focal point is more akin to a focal cloud - so not so big a need to move LNB. It may also mean that the beamwidth might be less narrow... [/QUOTE]
