[QUOTE="spiney, post: 145347, member: 192438"] Yes, signal strength will - obviously - be better than mini dish, since it depends on collecting area. However, "fluctuating" depends on what you mean! If steady, but seems higher sometimes than others, then that's quite normal, due atmospheric conditons, especially heavy rain. If it goes up and down while you watch, then that's not normal! Usually due to (moving) trees in signal path, but could be other things. The critical thing affecting reception is "signal quality", so long as that's maintained it doesn't really matter too much about the strength (due to how the picture is decoded). I don't think a lnb could start doing this, so it probably isn't that, most possible lnb failure modes would be quite sudden. [/QUOTE]
