[QUOTE="ndcoxhead, post: 896565, member: 244738"] I tried another receiver, and a different (single) LNB, but neither improved the signal quality. Before I started fiddling with it I was still receiving some UK channels from 28.2 (sci-fi, food etc), but then the dish was pointing about 10-15 degrees off the 'correct' direction. I couldn't get a better signal from the original position so I decided to try pointing it in the 'correct' direction. I judged the direction by a) digital compass (157 deg) b) dishpointer.com c) following the signal strength on the receiver when set to one of the transponders which should have BBC1 etc. Result= 100 signal strength, 0 signal quality. It's now pointing at the standard German TV sat, which works fine (although not perfect, I would have expected better). [/QUOTE]
