Have you remembered to put a little twist on the lnb. i Think it's called lnb skew. If you have other Sky sat dishes in your area take a look.

Ideally around the mid 90's plus although some channels are a lot less,BBC and ITV should give you close to 100%,

as for the LNB skew,if you are looking at the face of the dish then the part of the LNB where the cable is attached to should be pointing at 7 o'clock approx

these are ok, if you have a single LNB (low gain) if you have a multi (high gain) it needs an attenuator (6bd) to work. (try finding one in your area!)

I found it useless, even on a single!
