[QUOTE="manatails, post: 1164213, member: 420875"] Hello, I recently got myself a 1.8m jonsa 6-piece dish for receiving some C-band satellites at first I could not lock on to any of the satellites, including those with 40+db footprints in my area I heard a lot of bad reviews for jonsa dishes but I thought it wouldn't be this bad so I figured that it might be because of the cell tower located right next to my place, so I replaced the LNB with the one with an internal 5G filter.
