[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1028117, member: 369937"] The signal indication measures the amount of signal coming in to the receivers tuner from the LNB, 50% is a bit low for a 5 meter run of coax, question I have is what type of coax did you use? If for off air TV it may not work too good, I use coax rated out to 3 GHz, this gives the lowest signal loss at the higher frequency's. As the others have mentioned check all the connector's and any switch for loose or corroded connections. If the coax has been in place for a long time and is exposed too the weather then water may have got inside the jacket and caused a corroded shield, this can cause all sorts of problems. And the center conductor may not be sticking out long enough to make good internal connection at the new receivers "F" connector, it should be sticking out 3 to 5 mm, also check for any stray strands or shield shavings in the connector. A low "S" indication could also mean that your not lined up on a satellite, or the wrong transponder or LNB settings have been entered. [/QUOTE]
