[QUOTE="archive10, post: 941133"] Major crisis this morning, as SWMBO tried to watch the recording of the first episode of the new X factor UK series. She set it to record on ITV HD - and the result was bad pixellation for 5 seconds, then broken recording due to loss of signal... Checked reception, and yes it is not good on 2G:11023H on the Humax FoxSat. Two weeks ago, I loosened the bolts on the CM180 and re-adjusted for max signals. The existing pointing was to maximise 2D reception 4 years ago. I was thinking that I could get a good compromise, and as 2E seemed most difficul of 2E/F/G, I max'ed it out on 2E:10773H This seemed to give me decent levels across the board, so I tightened everything up. Now I am not so sure. The 2G stuff comes in badly now. Can someone confirm the positions of the 2E/F/G triumvirate? Several postings have 2E at 28.5E, and 2G at 28.2E. Where is 2F? SO; question: Where should we be max'ing our dishes? Is there an in-the-middle (e.g. 2F), or should we be see-saw'ing between 2G and 2E to get best compromise? I adressed the problem at hand by changing series recording to ITV London SD (on 2E), but I am keen on getting the best alignment with the current sat-configuration at 28.xE. [/QUOTE]
