Degraded Signal after Realignment: Phone Cables?

[Djskutz]

lads i just reallinged my dish and before i was getting 9db on 1west on tv2 pl hd, not the channels are fluctuating between 2 and 8, theres a telepone cable about 5 foot away from the dish, is that whats interfering with the signal

I doubt it: I have three telephone cables across the sight line of my main dish and experience no problems whatsoever.

TREES ?

Yep. Good point - there must have been a trigger for the perceived need to realign.

yes lads i built an extension to the south of my house and took it down from where the shed was before, there is evergreens 5 feet away but the dish is above them

lads problem solved, i connected the the sat up to my dm800se and bingo, levels back up, so it must be the alps tuner in the 800pvrHD box, thanks to all who replied

Never thought of that!
