[QUOTE="pooksahib, post: 1099158, member: 320194"] Ah, noted... Regarding the towel thing and my potentially overpowered LNB, I tuned in to a breaky-uppy channel and put a wet towel over the top third of the dish. The signal died completely rather than improving. I wasn't surprised by that as in the far North of Scotland we get the weakest signals so it seems to me I'd probably benefit from a strong LNB... Anyway, I did a lot of dish adjusting and now have all Freesat channels bar 2 (691 Daystar and 208 Bloomberg - no signal at all on either of them). Foxsat diagnostics has both tuners at 100% strength and 70% quality. However, the signal meter on the AutoTune page and on most of the individual channels is 100%/100% so I don't know how reliable those meters are. It seems really odd to me that I'm picking up all bar two channels and that these two are stone dead, not even blocky. Can anyone explain this or maybe suggest a fix? Many thanks. [/QUOTE]
