[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 858367, member: 243342"] Welp, found that a few branches were in the way of some western satellites, so trimmed those. Also, the tupperware "cap" was reducing signal by about 0.5dB, which I didn't realise, so done away with that. Tested pride21's DOS plate and found that it outperformed the self-made T-plate. Also, the biggest gain seems to have been rotating the plate 90 degrees within the LNB throat. I had to swap polarities on the receiver but MGM TP 3716R on 40.5W, for example, went from 5dB to 5.7dB (FS1 reading) just by doing that. Need to rescan a bunch satellites now due to a polarity change but things are looking good and I am seeing channels on 40.5W that I never saw before. [/QUOTE]
