[QUOTE="empb+, post: 945474, member: 400978"] I get boarderline reception with my small (Triax TD110, 1.06m) dish at 5W CRTV -Eutelsat 5°W -3745 L 2785 -FTA(C-Band) Can be tuned in but most of the time is unwatchable. I have read with interest Pride's Dielectric Plate modifications but using the sites search functions couldn't find the full instructions on making one. I have also read a little about C-Band waveguides. I was also wondering if I removed the Dielectric Plate (effectively making the LNB Linear for 40E etc), if a Dielectric Plate would work on the outside of the LNB in the Conical Scalar ring for example. Thought I'd read about someone using an old plastic breadboard for this but again search did not help me. Anything short of getting a bigger dish, what would you recommend??? to gain around 0.5 dB or more on CRTV @ Eutelsat 5°W -3745 L 2785 to give me a better lock. Its boarderline on the Technomate Sat Meters at 49-50%, just need 52% + to lock it all the time :) [/QUOTE]
