[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 761366, member: 325666"] ...Another oddity I also noticed whilst wasting several hours on this problem is that .. Whilst the TD88 was pointing slightly off Hellas2 approx 39.5 ....it would occasionally pick up a stray channel/transponder from Turksat during the blindscan....but that was still 2.5 degrees off target .. Should the TD88 be capable of this ?? You could argue that the dish was misaligned ... ..but it is spot on target on every other bird and tracks the arc from 66East to 7 East ...where trees then obscure its travel ..until it re-emerges from behind the trees at 45 West ...and it has no probs picking up RASD ...although a bit on the weak side.. An anomaly with the dish perhaps ? ..I just can't figure this one ..cos it defies logic.. rgds VS ..another possibility I considered and discounted is that the TD88 carries a second LNB with a diseqc 1.0 switch ... So as to allow 2x black ultras to be connected .. One at the focus and one approx 4 degrees offset .. That could conceivably cause this oddity if the switch was leaky ..and allowing both lnbs to be powered ... But was discounted as the error could only be accounted for in one direction ... Not both ... One day I'll climb up and disconnect the switch and second lnb ..just to put my mind at rest ...but really ..I can't see how this _could_ account for this anomaly in both directions. It shall remain a mystery ...at least for now. Back to the arc scanning .. Currently at 53 East.. ;) [/QUOTE]
