    It should be very close to being the same.

    As with any adjustments, you need to be watching a signal quality scale whilst making the adjustments.

    Default Intelsat 19 166E - LNB skew.

    Thanks MTV.
    Yup I thought so. I am having trouble getting Intelsat 19. I am using a slightly hail damaged 3m mesh satellite dish which is down about 25% on receiving - (Intelsat 10 68.5E in comparison with my other 2.3m mesh dish in reception.) The 2.3m is for 64.9E - 125.0E and I am setting the other dish up to cover the Eastern side of the tree. I have a tree in the road.
    I think the fact the dish is down on gain - basically it is missing out on Intelsat 19.
    Thanks for your help MTV.

    A tree, even slightly obscuring the signal path, will be detrimental.

    Also, the larger the dish, the greater the clearance from nearby objects is required.

    Even the slightest distortion of the dish surface can greatly affect its performance.

    According to Lyngsat maps, IS19 should have stronger C-Band signals in Perth compared to IS10/7.

    Assuming the Perth location you've mentioned previously is the Perth in WA.
