[QUOTE="rodscha, post: 1150077, member: 357738"] Hello ,I have a question on signal strength. In Carcassonne south France with a [I][B]120cm dish,Schwaiger single LNB[/B][/I], I have a reception of[B] BBC HD[/B] that varies throughout the year...seasonal variations. Right now (july,sunny weather) I get Strength=84% and Quality fluctuates between 42 and 58,several times a second. This fluctuation increas with a weaker signal (as before Coronation,I got 10 %to 35%,hardly watchable....or nothing mid-day As signal strenthen,the Quality nears the Strength,but never equals it. Will climb to S=90/Q=78(BBC 1 & 2 on the[B] Manchester signal[/B];(3&4 come in weaker on their unique HD frequency ) However a different story with[B] CNN [/B],which is hyper-stable and yields S=79% Q=85%, throughout year ,any time of day I know it s the Pan European ....but why a higher Q than S? Other pan-european,such as [B]PTV[/B],yield S=79 /Q=76 ,stable any time. I need to re-point,my priority being [B]BBC 1,2,3,4[/B]. And the strongest I now get (within the UK beam) are the [B]channel 5 [/B]bunch...(which I can live without,lol!!) Ch5 HD yields S=83,Q=73 when bbc 3 and 4(children's now) are dead.Will be back later after 6pm Repointing:azimuth or height? or just leave it as it stands? [/QUOTE]
