Adjusting skew and freq have already been gone through. Best I can get is a balance between white and black sparkles so that it looks like they are not there. All it takes is a switch to a digital channel to realize how bad it really is. I will work with FD as I was beginning to suspect something of this nature. This is a corotor II so the biggie is do I set FD using Ku or C? My cable run is probably 85' or so. Can I cheat the FD with something like using the DVB MPEG2 receiver on Ku and adjust for effect?

I think Bill had stated that when C and Ku are not in the same location the FD is off. I know my KU & C sats on the 922 are landing in different locations to get optimum signal. This is the dish that I had a "professional" installer put in. The mount was binding against itself causing bad landing which he claimed was a bad hall effect switch in the actuator. Once I got the thing adjusted decently that problem ceased. Would not surprise me at all to find out the FD was not correct. Hopefully I will get some time this weekend to look into it.

By the way to anyone out there Norsat rules! My PQ is far superior to both the Eagle and California Amp lnb's. Not just a little better we are talking crystal clear on digital channels. I currently have an Eagle lnb on the Ku side of the dish and before long it will be getting replaced as well.
