[QUOTE="joddle, post: 1071694, member: 247983"] In my setup in Javea I am using a 1.2m dish with a Humax Foxsat and in general its works pretty well showing good SS and SQ on most channels. Lately a few HD channels sometimes give the no or poor signal message and sometimes won't tune in at all. I have the tuner set for Freesat channels in the SE of the UK. I checked the dish and it seems fine although the LNB had a spiders nest in it so the feedhorn etc. were cleaned. I even installed a new cable (its only 5 meters long) as the old one was starting to show the effects from the sun. I think some of our rental quests had been trying to adjust the dish as my very carefully scribed skew adjustment marks were not exactly lined up so I reset the skew again. (I suspect the guests as I noted the receiver had been retuned in non-freesat mode - I think trying to get non uk channels!). I also tried using another LNB but that made no difference. There was an immediate improvement and now almost everything comes in as expected although ITVHD sometimes fails in the evening despite the box showing pretty high SS and pretty good SQ most of the time BBC Scotland (108) will not tune in at all (not that I want it but I would like to know why this channel in particular - I also think "Your TV" does the same but cant remember as I am not there at the moment. For almost all channels SS and SQ readings are well into the green area so I think the dish alignment must be pretty tight. I have also tried another receiver but the results are the same [/QUOTE]
