[QUOTE="BarMoo, post: 341518, member: 175089"] It should be easy* for the sat engineer to hook-up his/her monitoring equipment to your existing set-up (zone 2 SKY dish and SKY octo LNB) and establish a decent signal from the array at 28.2E. Testing each of the Octo's outputs one after the other. If the readings are dud (on any or all of the LNB outputs) then either the the LNB is at fault or the dish is mis-aligned (or, less likely, their is a cloaked Klingon vessel over your neighbourhood). Either way, the engineer should be able to sort any of those problems (with the exception of the Klingon vessel) using his/her talent for the job. The start point IMHO would be to exchange the LNB for a known working one first and test again (eliminates mis-alignment and obstruction issues). Still a problem, re-align. Still a problem, bin everything and start again or think of first contact with said Klingons. If the signal is OK outside and breaks-up by the time you start testing your set-up in the house - then the cable/cable run or its distribution is something to address. The list goes on ................ Whatever happens quinny - make sure to keep the board informed ;-)) . [/QUOTE]
