Is there anyone solidly receiving the affiliate stations on 118.7W with a 1.2m dish? I've tweaked up everything here and still have some minor pixelation.

In this thread: Circular to linear and all that jazz... we modified a linear LNB to pickup this satellite, but in the end there were only two FTA channels  | |
