[QUOTE="RimaNTSS, post: 880085, member: 312276"] Yes, if you only change position of LNB and not change position of antenna that is true. Hence, it does not mean you have LNB in focus. :rolleyes: Do small experiment: Lift LNB couple of centimeters and than change position of the antenna to get maximal signal. And there you are- another focus! Difference of the signals in those pseudo-focuses, depending on antenna size, could be almost unnoticeable. But, in reality, simple offset antenna has only one true focus. Finding true focal point for offset antenna is only possible by doing calculations in special programs such as "Parabola calculator" and than carefully measure distances to LNB (place wires). Some people find focal point by placing small mirrors on surface of the antenna and watching reflection. Perhaps it is also possible to find true focus by lots of experiments (change LNB's position-change antenna's position, measuring signals etc.) Also depends on size of antenna. So, process cold be quiet painful. [/QUOTE]
