Got a multi-LNB bracket online, but since installing, I've been having signal trouble. I have my dish aimed at 97W and am used to 60-65 percent signal strength on my receiver; after adding this bracket (and realigning the dish), the best I have been able to get is 43 percent. What can/should I do here if I want to run multiple LNBs on my dish. Am located in south MS if that matters. Pictures of my setup are attached.

In comparison to your photo here
www.satelliteguys.us
it LOOKS like the LNB is now positioned a bit higher?
Or is that a photo distortion?
In that case the LNB is now positioned at another offset angle.
Best would be to find the original LNB position again.
Otherwise you could alter the dish elevation, to account for the changed LNB position; that is the second best option.

Is my LNB mounted properly? What else could be wrong?
I'm trying to pull in Galaxy 19, my mount is level according to a bubble level, and I used the dishpointer app to align my dish to G19; however, I cannot pull in any signal. Could my LNB be mounted wrong? What should I do? Thanks a ton. Also, apologies for the trash in the first shot, didn't...

Strength is not a very importnat or conclusive measure. I assume you mean signal quality (SNR)?

I have to agree - it does look considerably higher than the way it was mounted in your previous thread. Is it possible to mount your multi-lnbf bracket on the underside of the arm? It wouldn't lower it much but it might make a difference - worth trying anyway - otherwise you may need to find a different bracket or improvise one on your own that functions as you need it too. Also, make sure you have adjusted the lnbf skew correctly for your location. Good luck!In comparison to your photo here

You guys have said exactly what I thought too. Thanks! And yes, I did mean quality, apologies. I may try to mount it differently, but would anyone here know the best way to build my own bracket? What do I need to buy, and how should I put it together? Thank you very much.
The seemliest one is on attached pictures. There are nothing you can not buy in the nearest HomeDepot style shop. You will need M8 threaded rod, bunch of nuts, bolts, washers. Some eye-bolts. 40mm pipe-clamps. Everything is galvanized and really cheap. Maybe looks not so sexy, but it works OK.

With 91W as central LNB-position, the tilt of the LNBs/ tilt of the multifeedrail (in 30.5N, 89W) should be about +3.4 degrees towards the horizontal (3.4 degrees clockwise, when seen from behind the dish). So that is rather near horizontal, as you already have it.
