How is my aim?

[mrmgroup]

Hiya all you experts out there.

I have just finished aiming my slimline s5 and have several LNB's that are displaying low values regardless of how i tweak. I really do not know what programming comes from what Sat so I am posting the readings from ,my H24 receiver screens and asking for guidance on if i have done a good job or if i need to keep working at it.

Thanks in advance....

Also this is a 4 output dish - no SWM if that matters

to Satelliteguys!

Some of the numbers are slightly low, but overall they are fine. Good job!

You look to be very close to where you want to be , I'd leave it alone.

You may be thinking of the Spot Beam sats and they WILL be lower than the others with a few high, the few that you show high are where YOUR particular area's signal comes from, the rest of the numbers are what your picking up from areas that you don't receive.

Thanks for the Welcome and the responses. I am glad to know that everything does not need to be 95+ (which is what i was told by the guy who wanted to charge me $90 cash to tewak it in). Came through a rain storm last night - checked signals while in it's midst. levels dropped a point or two but i did not loose any reception.

Thanks for the "spot beam" explination. Helped me understand a lot about how all this works

Kind Regards and have a great day

I think a couple of those low ones on 119 are spot beams.
So, no problem.!!

I'd like to see the guy that has numbers ALL at 95 or better .... it doesn't happen, as signal strength changes daily, minutely actually in some cases. Not drastically, but a few points is common.

you are correct. A few of the 119 transponders are spotbeams
