[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1110975, member: 176704"] Ref the issues with 2 dishes in my post #39: [ATTACH alt="2021-04-19 -Fixing 19E & 16E.PNG"]135959[/ATTACH] Took advantage of today's warm weather and "sorted" the problems with the 2 dishes, and as predicted: - [U]Zone 1 [/U]- the F-connector on the switch end of the cable from the LNB had become slightly "unscrewed" ->screwing it further on got the strong 19E channels back, and then I slightly tweaked the elevation to improve it further. - [U]TD88[/U] - very slightly reduced the elevation leading to a substantial increase in signal. "Jobs done"[I] (at least until the "next time") [/I] :) PS: Turns out that the LNB on the Zone 1 is the original - so it's still working after 23 yrs PPS: I tried out that LIDL "sat bleeper" that I got last year, but almost immediately discarded it due to the infuriating "noises" and flickering needle - went back to the much repaired "DSM10" LED meter that I got from SMS in Camberly 20 yrs ago as that is much more "user-friendly" [/QUOTE]
