[QUOTE="peter_rjs, post: 528447, member: 293801"] Hi Analoguesat, I hope you can recommend an installer to help with this; My location is about 3 miles from Selkirk in the Scottish Borders. I currently have a standard Sky dish on a 2" diameter alloy pole, extending about 1m above the top of the roof line of a 2-story house. The dish is probably at a height of around 28-30m above the ground. This is the only location possible to clear some tall trees nearby. (The 14 gauge 2" gauge pole is needed as we get exceptional strong winds in the winter which snap 1.5" steel poles ....) The dish has a quad LNB, feeding 1x Sky+ and 2x Sky Digiboxes. Two of the feeds have great signal, 2 are quite poor. I would like to get an installer to replace the quad LNB with an Octo LNB, (and a new dish as well if necessary), but then take the time to fine tune the installation to the best possible signal strength/quality etc. Maybe even add an extra wall bracket to improve the pole strength etc. (i.e. cast an expert eye over the setup and improve where possible). (The octo LNB is to add Freesat to the existing setup). Can you recommend a quality installer who would come to this area and be able to work at this height etc? Thanks for the help. Peter [/QUOTE]
