[QUOTE="lazy_magician, post: 1092819, member: 415505"] Guys, thanks for all the help, just wanted to give a quick update. I changed out the female to female connectors and did my best to make really good connections (turned out there were two connections in the wire in the house from the LNB to the wall socket). It didn't make any difference. The blade media picks up at 79% strength 77% quality, the iview HD box is at 0% 0%. I had a bit of a brainwave, and remembered that one of the cables from the LNB runs to a wall socket in the bedroom. So I took the blade box and iview box to that room and tested it. Exact same result, iview HD box 0% 0%, blade media 79% 77%.There are no connections in that cable from the LNB to the wall socket. I think that effectively rules out the cabling. The new dish arrived yesterday. Turns out its a lot larger than the dish I am replacing, I don't know what kind of difference that will make. So, hopefully, weather permitting I will put up the new dish tomorrow, and (if I can manage it) I will try to compare the elevations of the two dishes. I know I am operating with a bargain basement set up, but I really don't want to admit defeat on this!. Thanks for all the great advice, if anyone thinks of anything - I'm all ears. Regards, [/QUOTE]
