Some advice please! I have a motorised dish on a cheap SilverCrest SL65 receiver on which the LNB is set vertical on its mount, at 12.30 (as on the clock). Almost all the Sky installations here in the West of Scotland have their LNB's slightly offset (at 1.35).
Would this improve signal reception and give more channels? I can get Turksat but only with about a third of the FTA channels, Astra 28, Hotbird 13, Astra 19 & Sirius 5, but nothing else. Having read other posts, this may be an installation issue, as I think I set it all up 3 years ago with the dish and motor both set to zero, and did not set it up against 5w my nearest sat. However, it's Winter, and no work on this until the Spring!!
