With  a fairly clear view and the size of dish you mention, you should be able to get down to sats at 68.5e and 45w (further west too, but there's not much in ku-band beyond that).All transponders on Astra and Hotbird should be at 80% or more. You don't say what the noise rating of your LNB is. Maybe you need a better LNB. Poor quality cables, or wet cables, or cables with a too-sharp bend in them can also result in signal loss.Check the tips and instructions in the threads of this forum (eg "finding the arc").Two most common problems: that the pole is not perfectly vertical  and that the alignment due-south is not perfect. A fraction out on either of these and you will get the result you have.2old</blockquote>
