My reception of Astra 2 went down terribly yesterday march 5th ,only the pan- european signal was watchable with 10% reception(top blue line) but 90% signal(bottom green line) how surprising...cnn hd full blast,but on 10%//94%,but no bbc itv etc!
I started fiddling with the receiver 's out cable connection,unscrewed,cut a bit,reshaped the cable,rescrewed it on and re-connected to no result.
Then,thought the LNB had lost skew,but it was still tightly screwn as before;
did the cable/lnb connection,it was quite wet,and somewhat loose...wiped it clean,screwed it back tight into the LNB,went downstairs....gggrrr nothing still 10%/90% and no bbc!
Got online to this website,saw there was nothing wrong about astra 2...fiddled around my tools,started thinking about a new cable...
Finally after some time,Iput the tv back on(30 miniutes after my last fiddling) and found reception Back to normal.... so it took the cable like 25 minutes to send the idea that signal was back to normal !!
Saved me a "new cable" operation!
So sometimes the system takes time to retune....
