I've had my Fortec 1.2m dish for a few years. And during that time, I've thought the performance was okay at best. The other day I was going through the FTA equipment review section to see what others thought of the dish. Iceberg's review was informative and insightful. Mostly, it was eye-opening, however, because it made me realize that I've had my LNB holder on the wrong way!

Here's how I had my LNB before

I've got this dish dedicated for 103w. The maximum quality on NBC was 77%. Sometimes the picture would break up if the quality got down to 70%. Now, I'm getting NBC at 85%. I guess there's always something new to learn. Either that, or follow the instructions.
 
I've done this forever and am always learning something.
 
Reminds me of a service call I just did recently. The Glorystar lnb was not skewed at all! I don't think they got all their channels in. Previous tech did not do it right. Also seen a Dish 500 close to me for a while not have any skew set on it.
