RE: [OT] Extreme uglyness with Sky Digital reception

["Crick, Steve (UK)" <steve.crick@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks for all the tips so far.

I am in luck as my dish is no more that 3 mt away from the TV. I am even
luckier with the fact that a patio door is right behind the TV. So I can
climb the ladder and see the TV no problems....

Nothing has grown or been moved in front of the dish; the bracket seems
well rusted, so I don't think it has moved; so it is looking like the
LNB.

I will phone around a few local installers to see if I can pick one up.

Thanks - Steve

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.

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
