[QUOTE="futumsch, post: 647926, member: 321089"] The cable that comes with these kits has the F-type connectors already on, so its unlikely you've got a short from the braid. Also, I'm sure the kit comes with cable boots to cover the connectors. But if rain has got in, its not going to short your lnb DC bias, but its sure going to change the cables dielectric capacitance resulting in less signal. If you dry off the outside cable by the lnb, and then take the cable off, tip it down and see if any drips of water come out. Now a serious installer would tell you to replace the cable, but if you've still got it loose, get it in the airing cupboard for a couple of days. Next time you put the cable up, if you can't get any amalgamating tape, put a carrier bag over the lnb secured by an elastic band. Its not professional i know but it'll stop you any worry next time it tips it down. My gut feeling ( i could be wrong) is that is that you might not have it pointed smack bang on yet, have a look at _dishpointer.com and to get a reference bearing for your satellite you want...28.2e , 19e or 13e.
