Hi everyone first time poster from the western parts of the ROI.
I have a query about suspected satellite signal interference, Astra 2, Free-to-air satellite channel reception.
Triax TD64 dish (normally an ideal size for this location), mounted about 14ft high with no trees, obstacles etc in the way.
New LNB, I have also tried a second new one of a different brand.
Horizon hdsm usb sat meter, regularly used and working well, recent transponder list update from Horizon site.
VH and HH both reading high 90%s as normal.
VL locks on, up to around 40% (normally high 90% as well) and intermittently shoots up to 70 / 75% before dropping again.
HL will not lock on, display flashes quickly like it is trying to lock on but no beep, something seems to be preventing it from doing so.
Did a satellite scan using a generic FTA receiver and picked up 110 channels instead of the usual 370 (approx)
Surroundings... There are 3 phase power cables literally running through the garden.
If I was to look up at an angle of approx 45 degrees from bottom of dish, the cables are at a distance of about 20m away. Basically the dish faces right into them.
There is a transformer approx 50m away, there is a buzzing noise but I cant say for sure if its cable or transformer.
Across the bay around 6 miles away there is a hill which has a similar elevation, maybe a bit higher.
There would be lots of transmissions coming from that location.
6 storey aviation radar station.
Saorview terrestrial tv transmitter.
Line of site broadband transmissions, 2 - 50mbps
Mobile phone and 4g mobile broadband, up to 90 mbps.
Any ideas or potential solutions much appreciated.
