[QUOTE="BarryC, post: 1155877, member: 419555"] I'm about 650 metres away from a phone mast which is clearly visible from the dish. It definitely seems like the rain dampens the interference - I forgot to mention that now it is winter and the leaves are off the trees the reception is noticeably worse than it was in summer so if the problem is interference the added foliage helped reduce it. This problem originally appeared when I was using an old Humax HDR-1000s with a quad LNB but I have since moved to a 4K Freesat box with a new hybrid LNB and the problem remains. Possibly - I'm in a semi-rural area and we are all spread out over a lumpy peninsula. However, my nearest neighbour only has terrestrial. Astra 2F. The dish elevation is 19.6°. About 30 metres away is a thin line of trees but they should be low enough for line of site clearance assuming DishPointer and the app on my phone are correct. I did mention this to one of the installers to double check so hopefully it is set correctly. Are there any other channels I could test that would be more vunerable to an inaccurate skew? [/QUOTE]
