[QUOTE="Old Satellite, post: 20564, member: 175277"] Hi Barney, One of the options that would most certainly help is a Polorator with an ADI KU feed this is possibly one of the best feedhorns you can purchase from experience, when I fitted it to my own 3.8 and 2.0 and 1.8 mtr dishes(Two Homes) I saw at each location siginficant improvements. I estimate between 1 and 2.8 db improvment dependent on the dish. The problem is however that you can not use then a normal Universal LNB. The seperation of vertical and Horizontal signals is significantly improved with full adjustablity for outside footprint reception. ADI feeds horns etc can be seen and purchased at very competitive prices from Astrotel etc within the UK and also at the importers in Portugal. A magnetic poloriser setup would help with the skew adjustment, however they also create a loss of approx 0.5 db due to insertion, and once again then a normal Sky box can not control without external modification Cable - do you have a single length or is it joined? 130 mtr what is the quality 16db per 100 mtr ? Good Hunting regards Old Satellite [/QUOTE]
