Hi Guys,
I undertook installing Sky+ in the uk. I fixed up the dish using, my sat meter. I am unable to see the TV for the levels of the Sky+ box.
After i finished i checked the readings on the box.
Input 1 is
Signal Strength 90%
Quality 80%
Input 2 is
Signal Strength 90%
Quality 70%-80%
When i record on both inputs, the Quality on Input 2 drops to about 60%-70%.
Is this enough for bad weather or does the dish require some fine tunning. Since installing here in the uk, i have been hoping for a sharp shower. Hey its been so dry ( not that i am complaining) I am just worried its not quite as strong as it should be. I have swopped the feeds around and i am still getting the same readings. i know that the boxes arnt the most reliable for readings, but i just wanted to check this was ok. I have looked about on the net, but i cant find anything which covers this exactly as i need.
I have the LNB skewed i think at about 11 degrees. I have tried turning it a lil more but does seem to make alot of difference. I have a thompson sky+ 180gb i think.
Thanks for the replys and help
regards
