[QUOTE="Dopamine, post: 104609, member: 180698"] I just got a 125cm Offset dish with a Twin Invacom LNB. I quckly got it up and tuned to the BBC channels ([b]10773 H[/b]), and the picture seemed fine. Though the signal was low (Skystar2 = 26%, Nokia 9902s = 6.2db) the picture was fine until the early evening, whereupon the signal dipped to about 5.5db, which is right around the treshold of pixelation it seems. The skystar2 fares better, likely due to shorter cable and no diseq-switch, but it still gets either useless for recording (it´s main purpose), or watching, ranging from pixelation every 20min to a couple of times a minute. I´ve tried adjusting the elevation, azimuth and lnb skew, with no results. Even a few milimeters in either directions kicks the signal off completely, a bit lesser so with the lnb skew. I cant help but to think that this seems odd. Im trying to see if a big tree nearby does any damage, but it seems the dish has somewhat of a clear path. Anyhow, is there anything I can do to get that extra inch of signal? I´ve read a lot on this forum, astra2d.co.uk, and there seem to be plenty of people recommending the [font=Arial][b]MTI Blueline AP8 T2[/b].[/font] My problem with this lnb is that Im unsure if Im getting the exact right model, since there seem to be a couple of them. Could someone verify that it´s the MTI Blueline listed on this shop? [url="http://www.satpro.se/default.asp?id=10401"]http://www.satpro.se/default.asp?id=10401[/url], this to be exact: [url="http://www.satpro.se/detailes/detailes.asp?art_nr=2394"]http://www.satpro.se/detailes/detailes.asp?art_nr=2394[/url] I realize that gain won´t come in vast amounts from a better LNB, but it´s only like 250SEK(£18) to get it shipped home to me, so it wouldn´t be much of a loss. But would it conceivably give me enough edge to get just enough signal to have a perfect pic 24/7? Any help would be appreciated. Peace, /Per [/QUOTE]
