[QUOTE="brother9, post: 1027201, member: 411346"] Thank you for your advice. Yes, I have patience and I usually achieve the impossible. But as you list just about every parameter that can be wrong, it will be difficult to get it optimized. E.g. what can I change in the Diseqc setup? Nothing. And fine-tuning declination and elevation is a REAL problem! ONLY 11491V & 11496H are missing. Reception in Essex, so I am still hopeful. There has been drizzle all day, so no tests today.
