30.0 West Problem.

think your lnb most probably needs skewing mate, or have your dish re-aligned. you shoudnt have any problems capturing 30W with a 1m dish. Im in london and with a 60cm well aligned i have no problems what so ever.

You dont 'Skew' an LNB on a motorised system as when the dish moves and rotates skew is applied then, your LNB should be perfectly straight when pointing at 0.8° west.

This sounds very much like an ARC tracking problem as already stated you can pick 30° west up on a standard Sly mini dish

Yes the LNB is perfectly straight when pointing at 0.8° west.......As it was before I started.

Thanks.

Thats one problem you can rule out then :-)

The only other solutionis as i mentioned you are not correctly tracking the satellite ARC

or it could be an obstruction say a tree of some kind or even interference from overhead cables

Point your dish back at 30° west and then look out from beneath the dish and see if you have any obstructions in your line of sight

hahaha we can safely say that is the culprit of your signal problems, a few bottles of bleach ever week over the roots might be an idea... :hell_boy:

do a bit of googling about ways to kill trees! - Once it is dead then the person responsible for it might see the need to chop it down! - think a raid with a chainsaw will be a bit too obvious:hell_boy:

Dont bother with bleach over roots,,,,, try drill a small hole towards the centre then inject anything strong enough to clean a toilet...
it will dry out from the inside out,,then will eventually dry out and crack,,mind that car underneath tho,,,
this method has been tried + tested personally and gives good firewood for BBQs in summer and chimney fireplace in winter joint10
