[QUOTE="NoviceSat, post: 809526, member: 390074"] Thank you for the info zg3409 - you managed to answer my next question (based on another Saorsat post by huevos) which was what frequency should I be using. Am I right in saying the following?: My Inverto Ka LNB has a L.O. of 21.20GHz and RTE1 is on 20185L, this means a downlink frequency of 21200-20185=1015MHz, adding that to a Ku L.O. of 9750MHz gives me an equivalent Ku value of 10.765GHz) Is it possible to receive Ka frequencies with a mesh at all? I have spun the dish round with my sat meter and I do get a reasonable strength "beep" at 9.0E. I live near the coast (North Devon/Somerset area) so I'd prefer a mesh to cope with wind speeds. I need to get a new receiver - I'm just trying to decide now whether to get a cheap DVB-S2 box or upgrade to a more expensive twin tuner 'use everyday' box. I think I will be borderline reception (the TechTir article on Ka band reception was very useful), so I'll just have to wait for the next sunny day (or maybe they've all been used up for this year?)
