RE: [OT] Extreme uglyness with Sky Digital reception

Most likely to be LNB, if you can get to the dish these are quite easy to
change. See if you can buy one from a friendly local aerial guy who'll take
it back if that turns out not to be the problem. Make sure you seal the
connection with amalgamating tape once everything's up and running.

Don't try and re-align the dish until you've ruled out the other
possibilities.

Subject: [ukha_d] [OT] Extreme uglyness with Sky Digital reception



In the last week, my normal 100% quality reception has taken a nose dive
into unwatchable.

My long weekend task is to fix it.

Things I am going to check (roughly in order) is:
Quality of cable connections.
Change the cable (the existing analogue cable is in use, may have been
there over 10 years).
Re-align dish (bite the bullet and buy a sat-finder from Maplin).
Buy new LNB.

Has anybody got any tips from previous experience on fixing Sky Digital
reception problems?

Thanks - Steve
