Amstrad Digibox and zone 2 dish.
Technomate 1500ci+, 90cm motorised dish on a very thick pole!

A friend of mine has a sky+ box, probably about 9 months old, along with standard 60cm dish. He has approx 50% signal quality and strength but gets all channels without any problem.
I, however, have an 80cm dish and have 80% signal quality and 90% strength, yet cannot get channels such as Bad Movies (not that I would watch it, it`s just an example!), just a 'no satellite signal can be received' message. I wanted to watch Raj TV last night for the Thai Boxing but the picture was so blocky and jittery it was unwatchable.
I can get on the roof and get the quality up to 90% which I have done before. This alleviates the problem and channels are again received, including the Czech Eurobird ones. I do not like heights though and the first strong wind that comes along will blow it off again so am not going to do that just yet.
I have an old (at least 6 years) Panasonic digibox, could this be the reason for the problem?
All the usual channels e.g. Sky Sports are fine, it just seems to be these minority ones which my friend has complete access to.
Any help will be gratefully received.
Regards
Phil
