Hi Druid,
I understand what say about the skew/tilt of the dish and that it has to be changed depending on the other satellites I'm pointing to .
What I did was point the dish to D2 with the D2 LNB on "0" on the bar.
After that I looled for Pas8 and tilted the dish and put pas 8 on the best position by using the Satellite finder.
Then I put the C1 and D1 in the best place by using the satellite finder. (I also changed the skew of the LNB when using the satellite finder to get the best position).
After my initial setup wich worked perfectly I have been on the roof for 4 times for several hours. Trying everything under the sun. Changed the switch, changed the LNB's (I have different brands), tried it on different times of the day, etc...
This morning I tried for the last time and after finetining D2 I could get the channel (BVN) on D2 I was after. I didn't touch the disch anymore. Connected up the STB downstairs and BVN was gone . Whent back on the roof and I could get it again but after a few hours I couldn't.
At this stage I'm starting to get frustrated and considering putting everything back in the initial position. If you say Measat and Agila can not be recieved here and I don't see any other satetelites that might broadcats any interesting I probably don't need a 5th LNB an the 8 port switch. . C1 and Pas8 is almost all paytv so also of little interest to me.
Next weekend I give it a last shot and hopefully I can get things back to normal .
I know what you are saying is all true in theorie but I still suspect the time of the day and the tree are causing me lots of issues.
Well at least my satellite dish pointing skills are getting better every week ....
