[QUOTE="brother9, post: 1027220, member: 411346"] A previous arm of an 80 cm dish had rusted through because water got into the hollow centre. So I constructed a new arm from aluminium curtain rail. I got good results on Hispasat until I decided to upgrade to this TRIAX110. The TRIAX arm is fixed at the lower end with a horizontal bolt and a vertical one. The horizontal one leaves one or two mm play. I will check if it can be remedied. As this arm is also hollow, it cannot be tightened much as it will bend. And for Hispasat the dish is leaning forward by 4°, so water can accumulate in the arm….. I take it that the angle of LNB holder (supplied) directs it at the right “G-spot”; f=76cm (calculated). Are all LNBs equally sensitive? I consider the connectors a bad problem: OK when everything is new, but a potential cause of signal loss when cable, connector and LNB and Diseqc are weathered.
