I have in use the LNBF - C2 - GEOSATpro C-BAND DUAL OUTPUT 60-70% quality on 6' Fortec solid.

Picked up with a dish a Chapparal (co rotator?) with Eagle Aspen Turbo 120 C-band lnb gain 67 db Noise (degree K) 25.

Should I switch to the Chapparal/Eagle Aspen and would it provide better quality?

Thanks
 
All you're watching is X4 for your 4Dtv fix?
I don't see the point is messing with it, if you've got a solid signal.
Not like rain is going to hurt you ...
 
Just wondering if the Chapparal was any better.

Right now on BBC America I've got 58% on 6' solid dish. I have not messed with C-band much. I talked with Mike Kohl inquiring about some clearance stuff and he suggested some tweaking tips and I went from 28% to 75% on NGC. Some TP seem to be lower than others.

I do see there are more wires to connect on chapparal so probably more work than I can put in right now. However with spare 8' ku mesh and a 10' c mesh dishes in the shed, they might be more bang for my "beam" buck if any changes are done.
 
on my beat up old sami 6 foot dish ive got 80 q on x4 with my dsr410 i think you need to adjust the dish some
 
I am using the GEOSAT C-Band DUAL on one off my 7.5 Unimash dishes i get solid signal on all sats.
