    Bigger dish no improvement?

    I upgraded to a geosatpro 90cm dish from a slimline. However I am not seeing much of an improvement in number of TP or signal strength/ Quality. The only change I've had is now 12134 H 4600 comes in on 103W for most of the day and now have no trouble pulling in all of 87W. Tested with two STBs...

I didn't have any luck pulling anything in. I first pointed and tuned 99W on KU. I then swapped in the C1-PLL and...

    Will an inline Amp any help with this?

    On 103W I can lock on 11760, 11945, 12180 but 11880 and 12080 fail to stay locked even with a 3 ft cable run out at dish with me fine tuning. I get ~80% Signal and ~35% Quality. Would a 20db gain 5db noise amp push it over enough for it to lock on?

    Something I found on my receiver should I delete?

    First I want to say I'm not asking for hacking help or anything like that. I just noticed a setting in my X2 V1 HD named key edit. I opened it and it had listed different encryption systems. Is there any legal reason for this feature and secondly when I looked in each option it seemed to be...

    New to hobby have questions

    I'm getting into the hobby and I am going to be modding a Directv Slimline 3 dish using an Avenger KSC321S-2 LNBF with a universal mount and X2 V1 Mini MD DVB-S2 receiver. I was trying to find the posts on the mods but most of the links in other threads lead to dead ends. Does anyone have the...
