What have you done exactly? removed dish and motor or just try to adjust motor Have you made off the F-connectors correctly, and are they plugged in to the correct motor terminals? its easily done!

Hi pete, yes I did try the ultra before the packing but not after, I was quite surprised, it did improve quality by 1% or 2% on a few satellites, but generally it was on a par or lower especially 23.5E which dropped 8% on some channels. I tweaked the ultra three times to check but the Fracarro...

As my larger dishes are ground mounted and will not get anything past 33E, I had an idea to try a smaller dish mounted higher up to clear the offending buildings. I choose the 68cm Penta digit and single Fracarro Lnb to try out. I set it up first on a ground stand to see what it was like and...

I have never painted a dish so not really sure but I think many people just use a tin of car spray paint, with thin even coats, but don't take my word for it!

Dont think that would help much to be honest, better off using reciever and portable tv

The channel master 1.2 and mount is a very heavy setup and really needs a 3" steel pole to fit the az/el mount or polar mount as they both fit on the top of the pole, if using a jaeger 1224 motor you may be able to get away with a slightly smaller pole, but I think it would still have to be...

Nice job there, I think a coat of white paint and you wouldn't see it by there at all.

I would try Yemen tv 12182H 16200 3/4, the nearest one on 28E is 12188H 27500 2/3 although I can't remeber which one I found first, Dubai one or Mbc they are all worth a try. Many of the other frequency's are a lot closer as Sonnetpete has said. Also found reception reports on king of sats...

I tried for ages to find this satellite when I started, then on a clear evening I found a signal and was then able to tweak the dish. Go to a near satellite 28E or 23.5E tune to a frequency off 26E then move the dish maually with your remote until you get a signal. When you think your getting...

Not sure about where you are, but no problem with a 1m dish and black line ultra lnb here in S.Wales in just about any weather. Best to try on a nice clear evening, then tweak the dish to suit. I think Yemen tv 12182H 16200 3/4 is about the strongest transponder on there, but would be happy to...

According to king of sats there is a poker channel on Thor 3, 4.3W, 12246H 28000 7/8 and it is the only channel broadcasting on this satellite (last updated 22/6/2010), so if this is correct you may be on the wrong satellite.

Considering I can get badr4 in S Wales easily with a 1m dish I would look for that after 28E, that sized dish should find it easily, then some tweaking for badr6. Good luck Gary, and I hope your not having the rain that I am having today, it's chucking it down here!

I had a Triax dish many, many years ago and tbh I can't recall that part. Any idea where it fits, if not I am sure there are members here that will help.

Very nice photo's and looks a good job done in a difficult but idyllic location. Nice.

:-rofl2 Love that line! Where there's a will there's a way. It can be supprising what some dishes can see over and luckily hotbird is fairly strong. I would get a "good" installer to have a look for you. Dale094 has had some good comments about his work so it's up to you, at least you would...
