    Just got a dish from satworld with a single lnb and even though it's showing 60% intensity in getting no signal quality. I know the box works as I tuned it in at a different location. Most of the dishes around us are the sky 2 ones. I'm wondering would that be the difference or do I just need to use a signal meter...any help gratefully received thanks

    Is your dish aligned correctly? You are not going to align a dish without a signal meter. You are trying to pick out something the size of a van 23000 miles away

    That's probably definitely it.

    There's lots of other satellites up there. It amazingly easy to line up on the wrong ones so you get a signal reading but not the one you want.

    If you have a smartphone you can download a handy app but if dish is not at corect elevation and 100% upright then you are/will struggle.

    go here and it will tell you the correct elevation and it will link to app.

    with a smaller dish less room for error.
