    Quality still low, even with new dish.

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I used 103.0W as was first suggested. I raised and then lowered the elevation, sweeping slowly. I needed to drop the dish more than a degree from the scale reading to get an improvement. I eventually got the quality up to 50%, enough to pull in a few news...

    Quality still low, even with new dish.

    I posted a previous thread, attempting to use a HughesNet dish for FTA. I could never get a decent quality signal, so I decided to get a dish from ebay: 39" x 36" with a Moteck SG2100 motor. I still can't get a quality signal, and would appreciate any help. Here is how I set it up: 1. The...

But the best I could manage was about 35% quality. So now I'll look for a replacement dish. I'd like to get...

It shows a quality level bouncing from zero to 20 or so while this is going on. I'm wondering just how critical the exact focal point is...

    Repurpose HughesNet dish?

    I am trying to use a HughesNet dish (no longer a subscriber) to receive FTA on Galaxy 19. Equipment is a X2 M1 HD+ receiver and universal LNB for 10.7-12.75GHz input. I mounted the LNB on a bracket that put the end of the horn close to the position and angle of the HughesNet horn. I set skew...
