glitching wont be caused by the quad lnb but if you couldnt recieve some channels then might be caused by lnb

The glitching and freeze will not be due to a quad lnb things you should check are dish allignment, loose connectors on the cable going to the lnb and to your stb and also when your stb is failing. If you can check signal quality and strength, remember also with a single lnb
you would lose the choice of having a twin tuner lnb (watch one channel while recording another).

my signal strength varies ive seen it at 17% and upto 90%?????
If your signal is varying wildly then pic will freeze/glitch.
Hello.
How are you checking the signal stength. With a meter or the Box. If it is by meter your dish may need tweeking. If you are using the built in meter on the box it could be either causing the fault. What Box do you have.

manic is there a quick fire way to boost the signal im running a genuine openbox s9 im gauging signal strength via the pop up box on screen when i press info button?
align dish correctly, also make sure skew correct.

That much variations suggests it is not your dish unless there are adverse weather condition in your area.
Look at the cable from your dish to your stb make sure it is not frayed also check the f connectors make sure they are correctly fitted, the ones on the lnb make sure water is not getting in.
If these seem o.k try moving the cable from one lnb output to another that is free.

can u access the dish get someone to watch the box on a weak channel go up ya ladder and turn ya lnb manually to the right about an inch if the signal goes up carry on til you find a peak if the signal goes down go left til it peaks this is a skew it worked a treat for me

Its not a dish alignment or LNB/skew problem all quads are factory set to '3' and should never need altering unless in exceptional circumstances, this is an Openbox problem assuming OP has S9/10 it is well documented all over

Ahh the penny drops If it is a Sly lnb it works at lower voltage to that of other lnb's, I believe a simple solution was to put resistor in line on the cable some were selling premade option on fleabay or just change lnb to non sky lnb.
