[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1115770, member: 369937"] If this is a ""Night time problem"" only then something new may have been added to the landscape out in front of the dish. Any large metal roofs? any new buildings with large open parking lots? New tall buildings or trees?(maybe not trees or it would happen all the time) A farmer may have changed his crop layout and plowed it under, this has caused a large landscape change.(new large flat open field) What is the elevation of the satellite your looking at? If low to the horizon then the for-mentioned items may be the problem. (or not) Can you get to a safe position behind the dish? If so then take a good pair of binoculars along with you and have a good look out in front of the dish, anything tall or new out there could cause this. And as Jeallen mentioned, the coax could be at fault, it being 15 years old, but why does this happen only at night time???? I've only had to replace an Invacom LNB once, this due to woodpecker damage, they pecked the front weather shield out to put acorns in it, I sent a photo to Invacom, they replaced the 10 year old LNB for free.
