Hi Folks
I wonder if anyone can help me.
Having setup my dish acording to various guides etc I feel my motorised setup is "true" bracket plump and angles on motor and bracket correct etc.
The issues Im having is having pointed the dish south and moved to 0.8 west to fine tune to arc. Im getting low SNR issues. No matter how much I finely tune or move the dish the best I can get from the strongest transponder is 24%. Similarly no matter which bird I point to the same SNR range occurs flickering from 19-24%. I have checked various things so far; including re doing all the F-connectors carefully incase one is fowled. I have taken off the arm to check the LNB is a) not damaged or b) misfitted. Unpluggining all cables gives a 3% SNR so theres obviously a signal coming from somewhere on the dish. Again all these dont seem to be the cause as the same signal strength occurs. The only thing I can think it can be is the LNB and Im will be testing this with a sat meter this week to confirm or deny.
If anyone has any thoughts it would be of great help as I can think what else it can be at this stage.
