[QUOTE="xerxes, post: 24352, member: 176073"] Tried out your suggestion, Tom34, as best I could, by taking the Astra 1 LNB out if its holder and holding it (by hand) directly on top of the multifeed rail, thus lowering the LNB 1.5 cms. Got a much better picture than yesterday, but still with some sparklies on ARD and the other weaker channels. Then held the LNB immediately in front of the rail, lowering it another 2 cms - that's a total of 3.5 cms lower than its start position. This got an almost perfect picture - at least according to my wife who was manning the TV at the time. So have now gaffer-taped the LNB to the multifeed rail, at the 1.5 cm lower position, and the picture's not too bad. Should be alright for the moment as long as the wind doesn't blow. And it doesn't rain. And nobody breathes on it. So it looks as if you've really hit on something here, Tom34 - the Astra 1 LNB has to be 2 - 4 cms [U]lower [/U] than the Astra 2 LNB. I thought I'd take the multifeed rail, which is 40 cms long, cut it roughly in half, and mount the 2nd half offset to the right under the first, the correct distance below it. Hope there's no problem with the Astra 1 LNB still being parallel to the Astra 2 LNB, 3 odd cms above it (and to the left of course). That's what I thought I would do, but I think I'll have a beer first. Cheers Xerxes. [/QUOTE]
