[QUOTE="xerxes, post: 24321, member: 176073"] Have now got the Gibertini 100 cm dish up OK, and am getting good reception on all channels (including the Beebs) - and even with ITV2, which appears to be the weakest signal from 2D. But am decidedly unsatisfied with the Astra 1 reception. Have just spent the last 2 hours in the blazing heat trying to position the twin analog LNB to get the best signal possible - but still get too many sparklies on too many channels. I must say, I am decidedly unimpressed with the Gibertini multi-feed holder. Seems to me to be very poorly designed. I'm seriously thinking now about ditching the analog lnb (and my 2 analog receivers) and going digital with Astra 1. But is the digital signal stronger from Astra 1? Would I still need an lnb like an Invacom twin, or wouldn't that be so important? Should I in fact be thinking about giving up the the whole idea of receiving Astras 1 and 2 with my 100 cm dish, digital or not? Reading one of your earlier postings, Tom34, you say you had no trouble picking up Astras 1 and 2 with your 80 cm dish. What sort of lnb are you using to receive Astra 1? And is it in fact digital?
