I've got a motorised sat system - 1metre Viking dish, Invacom 0.3db lnb & Homecast PVR. The Homecast has a signal strength meter that seems to give a strength for the satellite & one for the channel (I'm guessing as the manual ignores this!!!). My problem is that on Hotbird I'm getting 92% on the sat measure & about 58% on the channel one, but both the 58% & (occasionally) the 92% drop to zero - then needs a move of the dish, which is really starting to bug me as it doesn't sort it for many seconds/minutes. ART is obviously worst reception (& never gives a channel signal at start), but other Hotbird channels are also bad, but not as bad. Obviously the channels freeze etc. Signal on Astra 1 is 96% sat & 68% channel, but rock solid.
Any bright ideas on what might be causing this & what I need to do / get done to sort it??
Thanks a lot in advance for any clues
