    Help I have installed my new motorized dish

    Hi all, I have finished installing my new dish+motor, I have been following guides and advices that I found here in DK, but now I haven t got a clue if my dish is ok or not.....

    I have a technomate 5400ci, 1mdish, technomate motor and a quad lnb (0.1db) installed all by myself.....problem is that these are the signal quality that I get :
    12.5W Atlantic bird1 66% (and abou32channels)
    4.0W AMOS1/2 23% (no channels)
    1.0W THOR2/3 78% (on BBCnews)
    13.0E Hotbird 98%
    19.2E Astra1 90%
    28.2E Astra2 88%
    39.0E Hellassat 78%

    I must say that I am still using usals and I havent tried yet fine tuning, and I think my dish has got my next door neighbour's home on its line of sight so no satelites on W after Atlantic bird1 at 12.5W.
    Another thing that I am not sure is that when I have aligned the dish at the beginning to 1.0WThor I did get 80% quality signal on BBCnews channel and only 58%on Private Spice(uhrhr- only for educational purpose of course) so the picture breaks up frequently on the last one.
    Any advice for a newbie like me?Is it normal that the signal quality on one satellite drops of 10-20%beetween channels of different frequency?
    Many thanks to all the people that posted in here guides on how to install a motorized dish, they are very good and easy to understand.
    thank you.
