[QUOTE="spiney, post: 108229, member: 192438"] [color=black][font=Arial]Sky digiboxes should get “default” transponder, even on quite low signal strength, so it sounds like either that’s wrongly set, or you’re getting wrong satellite. This more likely, there’s lots of satellites, and it’s very easy to do! At approximate bearing, try very slowly “sweeping” dish horizontally, to find each different signal, give digibox time to “lock in” to each, hopefully signal quality will “appear” on one of them. You can try “installer menu”, and reset everything to “default”, can’t do any harm. On remote control, select services, then v. quickly enter “4 0 1 select”, menu should come up, doesn’t always work first time. Signal strength is exactly that. Quality measures error correction, how hard receiver is working to “clean up” received bitstream, depends on signal to noise ratio. If high signal strength, but nothing on quality, almost certainly it’s the wrong satellite[/font][/color] [/QUOTE]
