At the weekend I replaced my
Sky minidish with a Raven Gemini 70cm mesh dish. This is ultimately in preparation to mount some additional LNBs for other satellites but for the time being it is just set with a single ouput LNB pointing directly to 28.2E for my
Sky receiver (a Panasonic DSB30). The LNB is an MTI 0.2db universal one.
It is only tonight that I have spent any real time viewing Channel 4 and I have noticed quite a lot of breakup / pixelation. This doesn't seem to happen on other channels I've tried. I'm based in the south of the UK and the weather outside is fine.
I set up the dish with a signal meter and it was pointed manually using azimuth / elevation angles that give the best signal stength on the meter. I also adjusted the LNB skew to get the the best signal I could. The
Sky box signal test menu shows 100% signal strength and 80% signal quality which is the same as I had with the
Sky minidish.
Is there something paricularly weak about the Channel 4 signal and is there anything I can do to try and rectify this problem? I thought the larger dish should actually make things better, not worse
