Hi Guys,
Glad to see you all back.
I moved house a few months ago and didn’t want to wait for a sky q engineer to appear before being able to watch tv. So I bought a wide band lnb and put it on the dish.
everything was fine unless it rained. The signal was at
Strength 50
Quality 90
The dish was quite rusty and I snapped a bolt trying to adjust it.
While trying to adjust it I could not get anything better than strength 50.
I bought a new zone2 dish and lnb. Zone 2 is overkill but the price wasn’t bad and I read it would work. The issue is I can still only get strength at 50! I have also lost some channels which I have only just realised after packing the ladders up.
I have no sat meter so am relying on the wife looking at the signal page while I adjust the dish.
I have set the dish angle to 25• and have pointed the dish as inline as the old one was. I moved the dish till I lost picture and signal levels each way and went in the middle.
there are some degree markings on the lnb. I appear to only get a picture and my 50 signal while it is straight 0.
does anyone have any tips for me please? I am beginning to think the box may be at fault. It worked fine in dry weather before.
thanks for reading
