Re: Increase signal
Ohh, there can be a bit more to optimize with same dish,
- position of lnb
- rotation of lnb
- better cables and switches
- better lnb
- better f-plugsIf you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans!Comment

Re: Increase signal
How to increase signal by 5-7 points!
hxxp://youtu.be/0LbSYvoiEkI
The microwaves pass through clear plastic easier than white plastic, I guess its the thickness and the fact that it's clear. Satellite maufacturers have known about this for years. They use white or frosted covers to stop the sun from entering the LNB.helped use "Thanks"

Re: Increase signal
Hi easydigital,
one question about the video on *******.
But Is the mirror attached to the LNB built in pure plastic?
It should be useful if someone could refer this trick pratically done and
the final results!
Best regards.

Re: Increase signal
Hi guys! And what to do if the satellite dish appeared rust. And how it can affect the signal level?Comment

Re: Increase signal
If your dish is rusty and the rust is penetrating or corroding the dish, it will effect the signal. If it is just surface rust it probably wouldnt, but you could sand it down and give it a light coat of paint to stop it from corroding.
But if it is eating into the dish, you will need to replace it eventually.Comment

Re: Increase signal
I can not see what difference it would make if is clear plastic or coloured plastic
when we are dealing with such high frequencies, remember the dish it self can
be painted any colour without reduction of signal strength it is the focusing of
the lnb which is more relevant.
The rust it self will not affect the signal strength if you ****** you will a lot
of rusty satellite dishes still doing the job.
If you are getting good signal you know what they say don't fix it if it ain't
broken.Liked my post then push the sigpic button.

Re: Increase signal
Are you sure?
As far as I know iron oxide has a lower reflection value and more absorbtion of the waves you need for sat-receiving.
I'have changed a 60cm dish with rust and the new one (57cm) had a better signal performance with the same lnb and cable.If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans!Comment

Re: Increase signal
There would have to be a substantial amount of rust on a dish for it to cause problems with reception, small patches of rust should be dealt with in normal yearly maintenance which I would recommend to anyone in order to keep their viewing problem free, checking cables and connections for water ingress etc. A light sanding and rust primer before a coat of matt paint usually is sufficient for most repairs.

Re: Increase signal
In my opinion, If your dish is rusty,
and you have noticed that the signal you receive is very low ,
and the cause of that is the rusty dish,
it isn't worth to spent your time to fix and paint your dish.
The price of a brand new dish isn't so high.
Buy a new one , and of course a little bigger
and enjoy !!!If You Like My Post..... Please Press the Thanks ButtonComment
