Yeah, I've finally finished installing it.
I didn't spend a lot of time to make it track a perfect arc. I have a 2 axis HH motor so I can always adjust a little bit at the end of the arc (I believe that the LNB skew changes, though....does it change a lot?).
I live in Rome, Italy and I can almost receive it all.
I can't receive the norther beam at 28.3e, though.
As for 1w, I can receive thor 3 but not thor 2 because it's only 36db down here (actually I can watch TV4 sweden but it's really blurry).
Another thing, the signal quality on my echostar 3000ip never goes above 86%. (that's the quality I used to get with an 80cm aimed at astra). Nevertheless, with this dish I can watch channels with a signal quality as low as 25%! (when I sued to have to 80cm dish, if it was below 55% the picture used to freeze).
I have tried several satellites and I can probably conclude that I can receive 46.3db signals with a 30% quality. Is this good or could I improve this?
Also, I'm using a .3db flange LNB. I put it on the feed provided by irte (it's simply a piece of metal). Anyway, in this feed there is a piece of plastic. I just left it in the feed.....should I take it out or what?
Thanks a lot!
