[QUOTE="xerxes, post: 24410, member: 176073"] Thanks Thomas - you too. I was planning to "re-engineer" my multifeed holder this weekend with a hacksaw and some nuts and screws, to position the Astra 1 LNB closer to your 2 cms below the Astra 2 LNB. But the gaffer-tape solution is working horribly well at the moment - Astra 1 reception just seems to keep on getting better all the time. Damm. Was amazed my lash-up survived the storm and torrential downpour we had here last night, but it did. I have to admit actually that the LNB is in fact held quite securely to the multifeed rail with 1 of those plastic cable binder strips. The gaffer-tape is more for fine-tuning its position. Occurred to me there's actually an advantage to the gaffer-tape solution, as it does allow you to rotate the LNB vertically and horizontally a fair amount, which you can't do at all when the LNB's in its proper holder, of course. I suspect though that however I position the LNB I won't be able to get rid of all the sparklies - I'll have to go digital for that. You seem satisfied with your Astra 1 reception, Thomas. Just what sort of LNB have you got? And what sort of receiver? I think rolfw recommended a cheapish "Topfield" in another thread. Got any views? Xerxes [/QUOTE]
