if i put a better lnb on the dish would this make a big difference in signal,or am i clutching at straws.

i'm not 100% sure its the building as i'm getting 70% on sirius,which looks to be facing between 2 chimneys. also getting 7.east, 10 east, everything on 13 east, 19.east 28 east etc...

i thought of maybe a invacom twin lnb,or mti blueline..., what level for weak signal 0.6db ok or lower?

Hi chavslav,
I personally have a 0.3 lnb, be sceptical about lnb's that promise 0.2db performance, also a high gain 90cm dish would help, all depending on what dish lnb you have at present, but you're right about anything blocking the dish will affect your signal, but as you have stated that you were getting nearly 67-70% on TVSH-SAT, i think the problem may lie elsewhere.
Did you try deleting a DigiAlb channel and re-scanning, and try My Music?
Can you also move your dish back into the position where you got TVSH-SAT at 67-70% and try these channels:
BBC Prime, Motors TV, TV1000 all on 10973 V 27500
Sport Klub 11554 V 30000
Fox Sports(Unnamed) 11021 H 2894
M2 11304 V 30000
W2 D9 enc6 (feed) 11678 V 5632
7 GOLD 11025 H 2894
Can you please post back with what results you are getting off these channels.
Best wishes
Mickha
