1m dish astra 28 east
free to air receiver
- My Location
- Crete
I have a 1 meter dish and receive Astra 28.2°E & Eurobird 28.5E south beam here in Crete. Can anyone explain to me why I get good signal strength on all channels but very different signal quality.
I use an SL65 free to air receiver
For example frequency
12441 V has 70% strength but 45% quality
11642 V has 70% strength but 55% quality
11954 H has 70% strength but 40% quality
we just had a quick burst of rain and whilst the signal strengths remained up around 70% the signal quality dropped to 25% - 30%
I understand that rain interferes with the signal and had I seen a drop in the strength a drop in quality would be understandable.
I know that I am on the edge of the footprint and do not expect great reception but it is this variation in the reception of intensity and quality which intrigues me.
Can anyone help please?
