<p>Indeed In the days of Optus B1 when only one polarity was on the NZ beam it was fairly easy to do without proper test gear But with D1 and both polarity active , the simple satfinder is just not up to the task for a proper LNB Cross Pol null adjustment </p>

<p>Hello Joshua</p>

<p>Hi Joshua, I will try the LNB tomorrow, and went to the link you posted. Can you please clarify aligning the dish on 160E on Optus D1. Is this done on the installation on the monitor or where? I would like to check that out - thanks.</p>

<p>There are two ways in which you can improve Satellite Reception 1. is moving the dish which is what you have done and another way is rotating your LNB just a inch more, you can read more about how to do that here: <a href="http://freeviewforum.co.nz/forum/topics/freeview-satellite-adjusting-your-lnb">http://freeviewforum.co.nz/forum/topics/freeview-satellite-adjustin...</a></p>
<p>In terms of <strong><a href="http://www.facebook.com/SommetSports" target="_blank">Sommet Sports</a> </strong>The channel is not available on Satellite yet however there are changes being made to the broadcast to make this possible so keep checking your Freeview Approved device for anything on Channel 14! </p>
