If the picture is scrambled, then it is a black screen.
Perhaps you mean pixelized?
Does this happen also with FTA channels?
For best results to watch satellites on PC, use a DVB-S PCI or USB card, instead of VLC.
Means having a dual / twin LNB with a second coaxial cable going directly to the PC.

I would have thought that there was far too much information to be transmitted wirelessly and displayed on a PC without pixellating, especially when any movement takes place. Even though digital technology only displays the changes to a picture and does not re-transmit something that has not changed there would be a lot of information, especially if someone walks around in the room an interferes with the signal reception.
