[QUOTE="sonnetpete, post: 756780, member: 310216"] Yes, I do see your reasoning, it was me being (a) lazy, and (b) too eager to get the C Band fitted to the motorised set up. Obviously, there's no substitute for placing the LNB where it's designed to go. However, this is an experiment and unless you try, you can't learn from your mistakes. I'm going to try and get the C-Band and Ku Band LNB's as close together physically as I can. I can't see this being any closer than a 4° seperation though. What I didn't realise was that you can mix USALS and DiSEqC 1.2 on the same receiver. I once tried this on my Vantage and made a complete horlicks of everything so I've avoided doing it again, hence the 'alternate'. A little OT, but having tinkered with the DrHD for a few days, I'd say it's tuner is a little more sensitive than the VU+. The Vu+ was starting to break up on Badr6 last night and when I switched to the DrHD it was rock steady. There isn't much in it but I can see a difference. [/QUOTE]
