Info to help with dish/LNB set up

[contracts34]

I decided to recently change my very old dish and LNB as I was having a few problems. I got the Zone 2 dish and bought a Zinwell LNB as they have always been good for me in the past. I set it all up using a Satellite Finder, but to be honest it could be done initially by eye if you've done it before, and then tweaked afterwards. I noticed a slight improvement in signal strength but wondered if what I was experiencing was good, bad or indifferent. After searching for information I came across the link below, which proved very useful in both detail and explanation, so I thought it was worth sharing.

The zone 2 dish will give you a slightly better rain margin but both a zone 1 and zone 2 should give a strong signal.

I have just finished my motorised install - that was fun! :)
