Just pictures of my 90cm

[jholt5638]

I just got around to taking some pictures for troubleshooting ( signal issues) So I thought I'd port them here Dish is aimed at 103W with second LNB aimed at 97W

Anyone think the short fence is causing any problems. The tree blocks the arc past 87W and I've picked up as far as 123W. Currently pointed at 103W and a second LNB pointed at 97W. Trying to figure out why I can't lock in 12080 H 30000, I had it a few days ago seemed to coincide with a thread on Ricks about a power increase on that TP and disappeared again when it was posted the power was back down. Am I just out of luck till I can go up to a 1.2m+ dish? Is 12080 a weak TP or am I just not tweaking the dish enough?

Cannot provide db numbers, but put in Quality numbers from Azbox running Openatv 6.0. In Canada, the Maritimes on a 1.0 metre Wineguard. My lnbf sits a bit loose in the holder and aims a hair high I believe. Will fix it some day. A couple cedar branches could be in the way also.

I have the same dish, and 12080 has always been a tough one. Just moving the dish a hair can be the difference between a good signal and nothing on the tougher 8psk muxes. I don't think I've seen that transponder since installing my motor.

I realized i had to have a 1.2 meter on 103w to get those tough muxes, and i needed a 1.2 meter on 87w to get those tough transponders. When i had a 90cm on 103w, those muxes were hit and miss. Not very reliable. Same with 87w.
