    Telstar 12 Vantage.

    Don't know if it is me or the BBC. I had all the HD channels then yesterday Channel 4 HD quit. Today i'ts back along with BBC ONE HD and 5 select but others are missing. I, of course, have been messing with Lamedb etc. What are others seeing?

    No sun here but fresh snow! Got the signal ok after swinging my 80cm dish. Now struggling with the files.

    Gone here in Sweden too. -1 and a north wind, not a day for re-pointing.

    Octagon SF8008 OR VU+ Duo 4K SE?

    Simultaneous scan Identical coax and length. Supreme 12129 absent at that moment but higher at another time and fine right now. This is the boxes measuring themselves though, so does it actually mean anything?

    Is a satellite internet dish different?

    If it is on Euro spot 1 Satbeams says Recommended Rx antenna size: 38 cm, mine is 75cm. Azure Shine supposedly the VSAT model. I'm now looking at the specs and the VSAT dishes have a longer FD than the DTH so perhaps a different curvature for sharper focus? Perhaps it is unsuitable for adding a...

    Is a satellite internet dish different?

    Just put the lnb in a random position? Adjust the skew on a non-existant signal? Are we talking about the same thing?

    Is a satellite internet dish different?

    If the lnb is in the wrong place how could I improve anything? Does it make no difference if the second lnb is 110 mm or 132 mm away from the first?

    Is a satellite internet dish different?

    I must have been lucky just using the signal strength display of my boxes or an app on my phone. My f3/5 has a spectrum display but it wasn't doing me any good yesterday. The formula I found for multi lnb positioning Fd(sqrt(2*1-cos(d))) gives a different separation than the one since found...

    Is a satellite internet dish different?

    I didn't know about this, so now I am reading your posts from 2015 and on. I had just calculated the horizontal and vertical distances between lnbs and was trying to wing it from there.. Found a weak EXRN signal this afternoon but lost it while trying to improve it. Your admonition "Manual...

    Is a satellite internet dish different?

    Both are universal lnb's. The satellite internet lnb is long gone. I just wondered if the dish focused differently.
