[mythtvnz] DVB-S (was Re: Quality of WinTV PVR 150)

[Tortise]

Well diagnosed guys!
I changed the elevation up ~1 degree, which seemed to give the best signal I could achieve.  Rotation seemed to make no gain.
I am now getting:
S 70-80% and Q of 83-90% vs (for convenience) the previous
S 62-70% and Q of 65-72%
Clearly some improvement, of course currently making no discernable difference, be interesting to see how much less depix will be 
noted, hopefully there'll be no more!  Will advise in due course.
Kind regards
David Hingston

Tortise, you will probably find your dish requires a small adjustment to
it's elevation angle, I have found a lot of earlier $ky dishes to be not
as precisely aligned as they otherwise should be.  I have two 20cm
dishes under a clear polycarbonate roofing and get no pixelation.  S=74,
BER=0.0
