Before I go out and make my self crazy tweaking the dish I'll wait. I went out for what I thought was a minor adjustment and ended up spending 4 hours just to get back to where I was before. I hope the new satellite is up and running soon
G10r will end this weekend ! (swapping to new bird)

Ya, the problem with doing an alignment now is your peaking it for wherever it may be drifting. When the new bird comes on line you'll have to peak it again because you didn't set if in the box. That's why I checked my second lnbf on my G-10 /G27 dish on WSTV and its quality was right where I aligned it last summer. Knowing that lnbf being off boresight is a lot more critical and would show ANY changes that may have happened to the dish as per being out of alignment. I'll put my cards on that my dish isn't the reason, it's G-10 once the new bird is lit up, I bet my signal issues go away.
Well it must be official since my 11720 numbers came up from around 30 Q yesterday to 60-70 this morning (Pansat tight meter). 11800 is about the same 75 Q, Retro Jams is 99 Q. This is with cloud cover and heavy rain headed my way on the radar. I was hoping for 11720 to match 11800. Stiill have to wonder what causes it to be lower? I know PanAmSat will be fine tuning the bird for at least a week, so I guess we may see more improvement or loss. Very glad it's finally done

Very nice! I'm getting 83 quality on 11720 and 85 quality on 11800 with the Visionsat!
So is it G18 or G17?
Congratulations, Gary!

Exactly my numbers, too, with the VisionSat. My Merc gives me a slightly wider margin on the 80cm dish, but still a vast improvement. Looks good here.
So, do any of you see an improvement? It's been reported, that the switch has been made. From the other day, I'm now getting better numbers. My new numbers are:
11720 = 66% solid no jumping
11800 = 86% solid no jumping
11720 = 66% solid no jumping
11800 = 86% solid no jumping
Ony 6%+ better signal, but I'll take all/any I can get...!!!!!!!
I know cause I read it here......Thanks for the heads up ........... but how do you know?
Actually I also have 6+% better signals on both 11720 and 11800, which makes it more believable...
See definite improvement on 11720, back up to 45%, which is what it was a few months ago (but still down from from when it was close to 11800 late last year/early this year). 11800 is the same as it always has been at around 60%. It is cloudy here and rained earlier today, but the LNB and dish are dry. Might gain a few percentage in clear skies (but not much). Would be happy just to maintain those levels (but was hoping 11720 would be closer to 11800)!
equity tp's
I usually always have 85-90% quality on 11800V
72-76% quality on 11720V.
This is on a 10' mesh with a corotor II and eagle aspen .6 ku lnb
using a pansat 9200HD.
That tp that retrojams is on always pegs the meter (the 4340 s/r tp. Can't remember the freq).

On the Visionsat and 3ABN dish:
11718...20-27 (viewable with a little pixellation)
11798...77-78
this is typical of what I have been seeing for the last week or so.
others on G10:
12104...33-36
12114...43-45
