    first off no two channels give same signal strength. if i use rte1 then signal at 82%, if sky2 signal at 59%. sky sports hd at 79%. don't for one second believe your dish is properly aligned. its only when you have hd chans that you realise further tweaking is necessary

    Hi mate if working leave well alone unless it gets unwatchable.
