Welcome to the forum! I would guess a bigger dish. Northern Mexico is on the edge of the PBS beams, as you saw, so it could only help. Maybe 90 cm or 1m in size? I think there are a few people on here in the Monterrey area, which is near the edge of the footprint, too. Hopefully, they'll chime in

Hey Norawa, welcome to Sat Guys!! And don't apologize for your English as from what I've read here, you do OK with it as a second language and better than some who were born, raised and educated here!!

Welcome to the site! Yep where you are combined with the fact that S2 signals are harder to lock, I would go find a bigger dish.

I don't think it will solve your problem.
But since we don't know what you are currently using, it can't hurt to try.

I believe that part would be Universal.
SatelliteAV has a similar PLL LNBF, but it's Standard.
From the comments posted here on the forum, they are both better than the average LNBF, yet similar in performance to each other.

I prefer Standard LNBFs to simplify switching.
No chance I can see any satellites needing Universal, from Los Angeles.
Of course if you need dual outputs, the DMSI is available with a choice.
Just don't let the outrageously low noise figure claims of the Avenger color your decision.
It's just marketing hype.
