Steve,

Have any obstruction been put up or grown into the line of sight ? Could
the
dish have moved ? These are the things you can check at no cost.

You can check the Signal Strength on a hidden menu. If you can see the Sat
picture on your TV or small portable you can use the 'hidden menu' to show
signal strength while you pan the dish, do a google search for more info on
how to get to hidden menu.

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
