Hi Pipoo

Thanks for details. What receiver are you using? Have Grundig digiboxes 200 and 300 series.
What do you do for skew? What angle is the LNB at?

I was trying to use Invacom C120 Uni Quad NF 0.3 dB and MTI AP84-TW Quattro NF 0.6 dB but obviously may well have missed the millimetres.

Will keep trying though
