is it nailed to that tree stump?

jaysbee666 · 13-07-11, 08:52 PM

You know the saying, if its working then leave it alone

radtv · 13-07-11, 08:52 PM

I did not look that closely but will take a look

pedro2000uk · 13-07-11, 09:05 PM

you can get one to work like that - it will have a wider beam width & narrower depth & unless the lnb is cut on the waveguide & turned 90- degrees - the pols will be swapped so you have to either swap them in the tp list in the receiver... or far easier... use a blind scan to do it for you.

doesn't work as well on 28e like that ..

It wouldn't work as it would need to be tilted upward by 25 degrees odd surely?

How can that work with LNB at 90 degree skew ?

Another great Sky install
