[QUOTE="Likvid, post: 110179, member: 176379"] At 10.788V my quality meter is fluctating between 8% and 37% and seems to stabilize at above 30% in 5 secs intervalls I have tried to adjust the subreflector, i didn't gain any more signal..... However i changed from my Invacom SNF-031 to the MTI AP8-TW i received today and i can say that i can now get the vertical transponders just below threshold, i would need about 0.5dB C/N to get the picture stable. This confirms that Invacom is not what people says, MTI is a much better LNB for the weaker vertical transponders, i could not get more than max 9% signal quality with Invacom, now i can get about 38% with MTI. Pretty big difference. However i am going to install my SMW setup tomorrow and plug the SMW LNB directly to the feed with out anything between, i will have a quarterwave transformer to get better VSWR. This might help. Another 10cm on the dish would have helped it. I get all 2D horizontal channels with high peaks at 63% quality so it is a huge difference between V and H on the same beam here in Stockholm. I wish i had a Humax receiver to test as they got a low threshold. [/QUOTE]
