[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 756912, member: 301161"] In effect trying to catch C-band with a small dish is like like trying to catch Nilesat on a minidish. To have any hope at all everything is going to need to be perfect. Looking at your picture the centreline of the C-band LNB is 2cm higher than where it should be, maybe more. So you are easily aligned at least 1º below the arc. Have you checked with your meter and adjusted for maximum signal before trying a scan? Not sure really. 20ºE JSC transponder is pretty strong. Leave the plate in (if the satellite is polarised right or left circular). Skew setting is not important for circular polarised signals. What do you mean "[I]it is turning the LNB off[/I]"? [/QUOTE]
