I'll try to respond to all your points:I have a Provision PSR 2000 FTA Digital-Only receiver. Ive never really had problems with it and it locks on to even the most difficult scpc channels with odd symbol rates. I was quite surprised its pretty good for a cheap reciever. Although it was £230 but that was about a year ago.As far as cable goes, I would say that you may be right, as there is a very long length of cable of about 50m to the back. But its high quality expensive sat. cable we bought from the dealer, and weve never had trouble with the other 1m dish we had before, and another reason why its unlikely to be the cable is because I had the same problem when trying the channel with the 60cm dish, which only has a length of about 4m cable! and i still had problems of odd fluctuations in signal etc etc.I have tweaked the dish ( outside in the pouring rain) and I am getting the weakest of the scpc channels, like TMF (11.043 H 4338 3/4) with about 7db ( which again i understand isnt exact!), but perfectly watchable.  Its very strange. I cant really describe what happens when I type in the Armenia Tv frequency, its like, the signal strength percentage jumps from 40 something to 60 something ( usually the same two numbers) and at each jump of the strength meter, the quality meter always jumps, from 8 to 6, to 0, then to 9 , basically its as if the signal is being recieved but theres something in the way. As far as mobile phone masts, the nearest one here is an orange one in a village about 4 miles away on the mountain, how would i diagnose if its that? I didnt know they could affect it, though it is microwaves I guess. I suppose what I really need is another reciever to try, but I dont know anyone, bar dealers who'll want £50 just to breathe in my house........ Its very strange... and annoying! my money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!O yes and also, as for that co channel interference thing, im not realyl to knowledgable on these things, so I didnt understand eaxactly what you meant, how can I find if theres adjacent channels interefering? , and surely these would affect everyone who tunes in , ( i emailed sathelp.co.uk and they recieve it fine )....</blockquote>
