[QUOTE="archive10, post: 934936"] Prompted by discussions on dish size requirements on a local DK forum, I have measured the reception of 2G on the CM100 with the Inverto Red Single LNB. First tried the old Pace Sky+ box (non-2600) last week, this seemed to work ok, with some pixellation here and there (afternoon). Then this morning (10am) reception was fine on 2E/F, so I hooked up the Humax HDR-1010S, and even the 2G stuff (HD) came in fine. Cbeebies HD, BBC News HD, and CH4 HD London. No pixellation, no break-up, no clicks. Quite unusual. This is somewhat at odds on what many other people experience with 100cm dishes in the Copenhagen area. [USER=186664]@Frederik[/USER] M seems to have more similar results, but due to his lattitude and the tilt of the beam, his slightly better results are to be expected. To get a feel for signal quality, I hooked up the computer, and did a scan through the TBS5922. Crazyscan identified the 11024 transponder, and bringing up the carrer seatch window gave me 7-7,7 dB S/N! BUT, there was BER>0, and the S/N as fluctuating a bit. Sure enough, back on the HDR-1010S, the pictures of 11023 now (11:30 CET) starting pixellating.
