    So you think he just went to the bother to prove that a Sky dish could move without falling apart, or something?

    All in am siting at about 6 and a half thousand channels from 42E to 30W, bearing in mind the usual thing about quoted numbers like that, regional "doublers" of French channels on 19E our doublers like all the ITV regions erc, plus random feeds that I scan in for a watch like the Republic game the other night. Worst recieved bird is 16E for obvious reasons, but the main "package" ones like Tring Max movies etc I get ok strength on, i.e. margin for more than two spots of rain. The dish is a Triax Zone 2 and the MTI $ky holder was modded to remove the anti di#*head max 28E skew retainers, i.e. I used a Stanley knife to cut off the lugs so its just a 40mm holder now, with this done I added a Inverto Black Ultra Single LNB. Only strengths I can mind off the top of my head right now is the Aljazeera channels on 11296 V on 13E, 86% signal quality on my Technomate 5402 HD, oh and 93% on BBC World News on 0.8West, you always mind what you got on 1 West! Par for the course before you start tweaking it all.

    Along with rotating the dish can you also rotate photos? ;)

    You possibly would have been better off using the sky designed lnb. The new Triax lnbs that are designed for the sky dishes seem to be very good. They can also be skewed to whatever skew is needed in the MK4 lnb bracket. Even though the INverto lnb is a good LNB its not really designed for those optical dishes, mainly for use in standard round offset dishes.
