Hi,

I live near Lisbon and have a 1,10m offset antenna with a LNB Universal Single FTE de 0.3Db (not really sure on the LNB)
I can get signal on most of the transponders on this sat that are listed in LyngSat, but when i scan for sport feeds i get no signal.
EX:
11221 V 27500 BBC Level 88% Qual. 71%
10756 V 2480 TV Zimbo Level 90% Qual. 70%
11414 H 4000 JEEM + L90 Q20-30%
12717 H 2893 Al Jazeera Westminster L90% Q30-40%

Could it be that the antenna alignment is off or is it just that the antenna isn't big enough to receive those weaker signal feeds?

i would get rid of your 0.3db LNB especially when you want to have a signal on some spot Feeds ,
get a good LNB Like Inverto Black Ultra and dont waste your time with crap 0.3db lnb's they are a pure waste of time and effort i am not surprised your having poor results .
TV Zimbo should be 98% as this channel increased its signal massive in past few weeks previously it was even almost too weak for me ,
JEEM+ should be close to 90% ,
Al Jazeera Westminster 86% ,
BFBS 11221 V 27500se 97% ,

So for sure you have something badly wrong whether its your Dish or LNB because a 1.1m dish really should give you much better results like i have myself from my slightly larger 1.2m dish .
Good luck : )

This is my first setup and at the time i bought it i did not knew i would get hooked on feed hunting, so i'm learning as i go.

Today i tried to improve the antenna aiming and also finetuned the LNB skew and had some results.
The signal level is the same but the quality increased to 75% on BBC and TV Zimbo . I got Al Jazeera Westminster to a Q60% and JEEM + Q70%.
I saw that spanish cup feeds were available on 10E and i can get a signal with the quality bouncing from 55% to 60%, so the time spent on the antenna aiming was well spent.
I already saw the LNB you mentioned on a store near me and i'm going to buy it.

I'l update this when i get the new LNB

and thanks for your help.

The canaries are not witch's :D

I had a weak signal, quality jumping around 5 to 25%, but it was of a feed on a different frequency (11153) and the image freezed every other second.

BLACK INVERTO LNB + 110 m good quality dish + extremely fine skew tuning LNB then surely you will have better sport feeds reception.
I live in ALGIERS and have no reception problems.

I can watch the 11262 with a low signal.

I had a very weak signal for a few minutes on 11171 and able to test the key, but signal is gone now. Too windy.
