OP Highpoint Space Cadet H Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 16 Maribyrnong, Melbourne	thanks for the reply<br /><br />I noticed that the footprint covers melbourne well. <br />maybe its a problem on my end.<br /><br />I am running a 20m cable from the dish.<br />does this affect the signal strength once it reaches the reciever?

I hope you are using a correct Sat cable. 20 M cable I'm usng 40M with no problems of good quality RG6. Check the Skew of the LNBF, turn little left or right and check signal.
