Hi,
Is it normal for some channels on Astra to break up where others are perfect, noticed the quality reading is quite low on these breaking up channels but the signal strenght is high..


Novice Jim..... thanks

Check the skew, as you are looking at the dish from behind the LNB, put it at about 5 Oclock.

Your LNB shouldn't be at 12 O'clock, that would make the cabele point upwards, see the following thread. http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellit...nb-fckuvn.html
