[QUOTE="wolsty, post: 20334, member: 175166"] @ Channel Hopper. One wolsty per universe is enough. Or so my wife tells me. Perhaps in a parallel universe polarities are reversed and it's the H channels which pose the problem. Which reminds me. I've tested a few voltages and signal strengths. The STB produces a voltage of 14.3 for all H channels tested and 18.6 for the V channels tested. Signal strength, quality and polarisation are, respectively: 28 deg E Sky News: 49%, 91% V; 28 deg E TCM: 49%, 57% V; Hotbird Superpippa: 46%, 87% V; Hotbird Multivision 1: 42%, 60% V; 19 deg E Premiere 1: 49%, 56% H; 19 deg Direkt Portal 47%, 52% H. Despite the relatively low signal strengths (I am in the far SW, after all), all the above channels have cleared reliably ever since I've had the Hummie, with the notable exception of those from Sky News, TCM, French C+ etc which, as mentioned previously have given the 'No or Bad Signal' message only within the last few months. I still don't understand why, if the receiver is left switched to the problem channel for a long time, the signal clears and reception is then faultless. :confused: [/QUOTE]
