[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 797828, member: 243342"] OK, following my Penta installation on my balcony with a very short cable run to the receiver, I have been having problems with strong satellites, in that the signal reading was reading way below what it should have been. At the same time the weaker satellites have been stronger than they ever have been, so this rules out bad alignment... So, it looks like the strong satellites, combined with a short cable run is overloading the tuner. To test the theory, I have tuned in to 19.2E NHK World transponder, which is breaking up(!) and the signal (SNR) jumps in and out of lock. However, after I put a wet cloth over the LNB, the signal jumps to 46% and the picture is stable. How can I reduce the signal on the strongest satellites without affecting the weaker ones? Is there an attenuator of some sort I can use? I could use a 20m cable run I guess but I really want something more intelligent than this.... Help! [/QUOTE]
