    sounds like it would not worth the effort [ lots of work, dish would get heavier (extra plate)] Thanks for all the replies!

    LNB skew vs DISH skew

    The dish I called round is a 21" wide, and 22" tall, has a Y shaped dual LNB holder and it has a canadian satellite provider logo printed on it. I am thinking to take of the rotating mechanism and use it on a 30" qsat dish, which is already in use for fta, works fine for 30,72,89,97,101 My...

    LNB skew vs DISH skew

    I have a small dish (around 22") which rotates. Thinking of removing rotating parts and attach it to a larger (30") dish to make dish skewable. I would like to know whether it is worth the effort, and I will end up with some gains compared to just skew the LNB on a same dish? Thanks for all...

    I got this rarely seen lnb, round shape, ku band circular single lnb, lo=10.750 Ghz, Input=11.70-12.75 Ghz, NF=0.5 dB seems like the frequency (11.70-) is fine for fta, however the circular polarization is a problem thinking of taking off the front cap and removing inside the plates to make...

    89w ABC channels did some investigation---switch OK, cables OK---adjusted dish---up 2 mm, and rotated 2mm --- got 89w channels back :) looks like the wind+dish weight managed to pull out slightly (2mm) one of the top plastic inserts inside the holes on the wall, which are holding the...

    89w Galaxy 28 ku missing 3 ABC channels

    Thanks Iceberg, looks like then I am heading out to the garage roof with a sat receiver and a 7" dvd player to troubleshoot the problem: dish moved ? bad coax connections ? bad 22 khz switch ? bad diseqc switch ? So many things could have gone wrong ! Thanks again !

    89w Galaxy 28 ku missing 3 ABC channels

    It is 27 F/ -2 C the temperature here, and I really don't want to go out there, unless I have to . However, if something wrong with my setup, why I still got signal on one TP ?

    Paint on the LNB ?

    Thanks for all the advise, now I am considering a safer approach. I am going to place a thin piece of plastic in front of the LNB and see if is there any signal reduction and if it is how much. Then I will paint this extra plastic piece with a white acrylic-latex and see what happens ?

    Paint on the LNB ?

    I have an LNB which has its front white protective plastic cap badly discolored. Since the dish is mounted low, near the house, and a very visible location, this LNB is not a pretty sight. Thinking of spraying this plastic cap with some white outdoor paint, maybe an acrylic-latex or an enamel...

    97, 101, 123

    85% strenght ? "I'm getting max85% strenght, but 0% quality on these sats." I think you might have a Diseqc switch connected, and the 85 % strenght coming from another LNB w/another dish. I suggest, you disconnect the switch, and wire the universal LNB from your 76 cm dish directly to you...
