I have two zone 1 minidishes connected using 2 2x1 Diseqc switches into a twin tuner receiver so that each tuner can receive either Hotbird or Astra 28.2. My wife watches Polish TV through a Cyfra+ subscription. All the channels we watch are received very well on both satellites with little or no break up with the exception of the Hotbird TVN channels which break up in moderate rain. These channels are reported as having a signal of around 9db in good weather compared to the other Hotbird channels at about 11db. I spent some time on Saturday trying to fine tune the dish to improve the signal. All I really managed to do was break the LNB arm.
The dish, cable and LNB are all about 10 years old and the cable is old aluminium screened WF65 twin. I have ordered a new LNB and have decided to upgrade the cable to WF100 twin (about 13m run). I am hoping to fit these next weekend whilst I have a ladder.
What should the correct LNB skew be for Hotbird in east Anglia on a minidish zone 1? Or would it be better to skew the dish slightly. If so, what would be the correct way to do this? Many thanks for any help.
