[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 907499, member: 369937"] How old is the system (dish and coax) the dish could be out of line, it may need to be tweaked. The coax if it's old could have a cracked PVC jacket, this would let water in, water can cause BIG problems on the satellite signal to the receiver, if the center conductor is copper plated steel it can also rust, this can also cause a drop in signal, check all connections for corrosion or rust on the center conductor. Is there anything else in-line from the LNB to the receiver? A ground block could cause a drop in signal if it has gone bad or has corrosion on the connections, any coax splices in the run of coax? If so then check them. [/QUOTE]
