Picture Quality - Sirius

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.satellite.tv (More info?)

I have just installed a motorised system, with a 1m dish & techomate 5500.
On Sirius, some TPs are give 80-90 on quality - yet other 20-30? Is this
normal or do I need to revisit the adjustment of the dish or rotate the LNB
around slighty? I can pick up all the other sats ok and most give a very
strong signal. Any advice appreciated. I am in N England.

There are two beams used by the Sirius satellites at 5E. The Europe beam can
be picked up in the North of England with a 0.6m dish but the Nordic beam
usually requires a 1.2m dish. Have a look at the Sirius website www.nsab.se
