Hi all, Just looking for a bit of advice. I have a sky minidish (Im in Northern Ireland) pointed at Hotbird 6/8/9 and noticed my signal has started to break up in the last couple of weeks which I have been putting down to heavy rain showers. Today however its dry and sunny and I still notice the picture breaking up. I had a look in satfinder and I see these readings - 7.0dB SNR 43% AGC 99% BER flucuates between 0 and 1800. Do you think the dish has dropped out of alignment or should I use a slightly bigger dish? I have another dish pointed at Astra 28.5 and it doesnt suffer from the same problems. Thanks | ||

Blog Entries: 1 My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 6 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/10E/13E/16E/ 19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S  The last noble sat warrior to fly the olden flag of Analogue | Sounds like the dish has moved a little. | ||

My System: Triax 1.1m and Orbital 80cm Motorised Dishes. Various fixed Dishes. Eclectic selection of Digital and Analogue Receivers. Complex switching and distribution that SWMBO cannot fathom. Nor me. | Something as simple as a loose connection or possibly water leaching into the cable (capillary action can be significant once a point of entry opens up). | ||
