    What receiver are you using and on a Fixed dish pointing to 42? east the LNB skew should not be on zero, Those 2 channels are on 3A west so should easily be receivable with that size of dish. Try altering the skew while tuned to one of those channels

        id make sure the skew is set at 0 when your aligned to 0.8w and it should be about right when you move to 42e i fitted a fixed 80cm dish last week to turksat and you wouldn't believe the difference an adjustment on the lnb make to signal quality when at 0 it was reading around 20-25% adjust the skew and it went upto around 95-97%
        technomate tm-2t oe attached to a tm2600 with a 1m dish

          Hi. If you have moved the dish slightly left/right and still no signal then it could also be your dish is a fraction too high. Try and toggle the dish with your hands up and down and see if it gives you the signal. Also double check you have correct frequency otherwise you will never find it unless you do a blind scan.

          Regards

              also, as mentioned in your previous thread (why 2 threads on the one topic I dont know!) they are both loud and clear on the same transponder on my spiderbox on 42e from my dish here in the n/w so any problems are down to dish alignment or skew, or both, so as said previously have the skew on zero at 0.8w and let the motor do the work
