Congrats!! I guess you're using a blue conical for it. Besides playing with the skew, moving the conical in or out sometimes give you better results.

p.d.
I moved the post to a better place for you!!

I know you have mentioned that going bigger is out of the question but to see results would require a dish of at least 6'. Once you get pulled into c band, you won't look back.

Well came to the conclusion that i will need a biger dish ( wife not happy ) getting good result on 99, 17/19 ch , but thats about it for real channels, i dont watch religous tv so 91 is dead for me , so the sucking up begins....

Good luck with that. If I ever decided to put up my spare 10' mesh in place of my 8' solid, and I have been thinking about it, you could have the 8 footer.
