Hello and happy Palms sunday(or pussy willow day?)!
I finally solved the prob
yesterday was just a little windy,my reception was quite good...BUT there were sudden jumps in the picture,along with a sqweeky noise for half a second,pic stayed or went...
i realised this went along with small gusts of wind gently shaking arond the cable hanging from the lnb.
I had to realise i had forgotten to create a curve(or half-loop) with the cable and chattertonning it to the lowest metal bar sticking out of the dish,as most people do!
Hence the lnb/cable connection was gradually loosened by a wear and tear effect of the wind.
Done now,gusts continue & picture holds
Thanks to this "incident" i ve had the pleasure of great conversation,and incidental learning of sun outages !
btw when is the next one? won t miss it!
Again ,thank you Lazarus,William,Channel hopper ,Analoguesat , Sonnetpeteand Davemurgtroyed and Topper for your help and company!
rodolphe in sunny & a little gusty Carcassonne
