picture breakup on some channels

[jimtylee]

Hi,
Is it normal for some channels on Astra to break up where others are perfect, noticed the quality reading is quite low on these breaking up channels but the signal strenght is high..


Novice Jim..... thanks

Check the skew, as you are looking at the dish from behind the LNB, put it at about 5 Oclock.

Okay i'll try that, thats quite a turn from 12 ocock , i'll have to undo the cable clips......thanks for the advice ..could i ask you why it needs to be rotated is it because the signal fron Astra is on that orientation.?
i'm oviously very green at this.....

thanks again jim.

Your LNB shouldn't be at 12 O'clock, that would make the cabele point upwards, see the following thread. http://www.satellites.co.uk/satelli...28721-skew-problem-fortecstar-lnb-fckuvn.html

Okay thanks,
Now getting lots more channels......the previously weak channels are now strong, after moving the LNB as you suggested..

thanks again Jim........
