[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 762194, member: 325666"] Hi Comber.. This is where you are going to have real problems ... Not so much whilst the Dish is low down and accessible ... But if you raise it up too high ..removing the dielectric plate when neccessary ..ie allowing the ku signals ...which will already be much weaker because you are using a combo lnb .........will be difficult .. In order to get C band circular which accounts for 90% of the c band birds visible on our section of arc ...the dielectric plate must be fitted. ..but the very action of fitting this plate removes _any_ real chance of receiving ku on such a small dish. It wouldn't allow much signal even on a 2mtr dish .. You would have to go over 3mtrs to compensate in any real sense for the loss introduced by the plate. Cband is _not_ impossible on a TD110 ....just damned difficult ..and the plate _has_ to be fitted to have any chance at all of getting anything other than the Russian transponder at 40East.. ..at the risk of repeating myself ...fitting this plate permanently will destroy almost any chance of receiving linear ku .. nonetheless I wish you luck ..and encourage your endeavours...just be prepared for a few dissappointments. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
