[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 879398, member: 243342"] Success! I took the dish inside into the living room and strung it with 6 pieces of string. There was a massive gap in the middle between the highest and lowest one. So then I pushed the sides of the dish fairly firmly until all the strings came together. This took quite a while to work out which part of the dish was warped. After getting it as good as I could, I turned it face down and noticed there were some small gaps still on some sides of the dish (not the whole dish was flush with the floor). So I put some weight (washed laundry!) on the sides of the dish that had a gap and some more weight on top so that the whole dish was flush and left it for an hour. Then I checked it again face up and the strings were close but not perfect. I decided to put it back up on the mount and... result! Getting between 5% and 15% more signal on the Vu+ Uno's SNR scale than I did with the Channel Master.
