[QUOTE="archive10, post: 935102"] My CM180 with BUQuattro has been aimed at 2D since the dish was first put up. 2D being several configurations of sats in the past, I am wondering wether I too could optimise reception. (danger being the old adage: "If it ain't broke...") To start with, I measured the current performance to compare with yours. To get proper readings, I borrowed the Promax meter again for the task. LNB is Black Ultra Quattro through a EMP Centauri multiswitch: 11023H 8,4 dB (BBC News HD / 2G) 10773H 12,5 dB (BBC1 / 2E) 10847V 10,5 dB (BBC HD / 2E) Observations (not scientific, but interesting): - I take the 2E horizontals better (10773). - The 2G horizontals are about the same (11023). - You do the 2E vertical better. I think the interesting question is: Where should we point the dish? Where's the sweet spot of compromise between 2E and 2G? (TBH, there's nothing interesting on 2F ATM for me.) [/QUOTE]
