Hi, a solid dish will outperform a mesh and a good lnb will make a huge difference but if the setup is wrong from the outset then its a waste. Pole 100% straight, align dish motor with 1 west in your case. Use dishpointer com to get elevation etc.
And have a good receiver, you dont need a meter. You will get everything where you are from 45e to 30w.
say what kit you have

Do not forget the right coax like Belden or Vivanco
what lnb are you using? And 88cm is a bit on small side but you done well. The idea is to peak on a strong ie BBC news and then go for a weaker one to get spot on. The lnb can be tweaked as well to get accurate focal distance.
I ask about lnb because I changed recently and got a very pleasing result. And lnb was not expensive.

Hi Ebm.
I am using a Inverto ultra lnb. I didn't check the weak transponders on Thor. I will try tweaking the lnb moving it forward and backward. I have the digisat pro meter to aid me. The Triax 110 would be too big. I wouldn't be able to rotate it to some satellites as it will hit the wall. If I do move house one day I might invest in 110cm.
