I am in Javea using a 1.2m PF dish with and Inverto single C120 LNB and a Humazx Foxsat HD box. I have just returned here after almost a year away but now have issues with several channels on Freesat.
Several channels simply give the "No or Bad signal" message and no indication for the SS or SQ
However the rest which break up most of the time all have strong SS but very poor SQ
The culprits are :
107 BBC 4 HD No or bad signal
108 Scotland HD No or bad signal
148 Food Network Breakup but strong SS & poor SQ
149 Food Netrwrok +1 Breakup but strong SS & poor SQ
150 Dmax Breakup but strong SS & poor SQ
151 DMAX+1 Breakup but strong SS & poor SQ
157 Dave Breakup but strong SS & poor SQ
158 Drama Breakup but strong SS & poor SQ
159 YEsterday Breakup but strong SS & poor SQ
168 Quest+1 Breakup but strong SS & poor SQ
169 QUEst red Breakup but strong SS & poor SQ
170 Quest Red+1 Breakup but strong SS & poor SQ
172 Quest Breakup but strong SS & poor SQ
200 BBC News HD No or bad signal
601 CBEEBIES HD No or bad Signal
Is there something common on these channels which would give more insight as to the issue!
I have tried tweaking the skew and managed to get DAVE and DRAMA from BAD signal to severe breakup but little else changed.
I have not tried repointing the dish as I have no proper meter to set it up and am worried that if I loosen the mount I may never getting it back again!
The villa is used for rentals and so I would like to have this working as well as possible so any ideas welcomed.
