[QUOTE="irishguy2002, post: 734639, member: 303057"] Guys, Firstly, many thanks for all the assistance / helpful comments - unfortunately I only got the chance to try these changes early this morning before work! To clarify - I'm honestly not sure if 5W or 1W was used before by the previous installer to setup the kit. I can confirm that my long / lat of 6.1 W, 54 North worked before and I was able to hit sats using USALS 1.3. I had only recently changed 1.2 and stored sat postions as I was tweaking each sat to improve signal as store these to tide me over until a realignment was completed. [B]Long / Lat Change[/B] I have updated my long / lat to something like 1.00 West, 54.00 North and I'm able to hit most satellites again. I need to do some more testing but here are some results below that relate to signal quality on my dm800's using 1m dish and 0.2 Twin Ultra Black LNB: 30w signal strenght is around 35 - 46 % on various transponders. 1W - I get an excellent signal on BBC News around 93%, around 55% on the Nordic Beam i.e. TV PL. 7e / 10e - I can get some channels, various channels 35 - 50%. 13e / 19e - I get a good signal around 75% on various channels. 16e is around 50% on Tring, if I change location from 54.0 to 64.0 it seems to improve the signal by 2 - 4 %? 28e is not very strong, around 55% on BBC ONE NI, 15 - 30% on weaker channels like Setanta / Movies for Men and around 50% on the HD Movie Channels. 39e no lock, no signal on any transponder. I will have a chat with Chris about trying to improve reception, it seems that perhaps it's just off the arc based on those figures above? Thanks, Irish [/QUOTE]
