[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 883926, member: 323322"] You say you haven't checked the F Plugs? Well, the quality of the connections seems to be all that's left to eliminate. First thing to do is check for tightness. If nipping them a little more secure doesn't work, then you might need to re-terminate each connection until you find a dodgy one. That said, and upon reading your first Post once more, I'm not sure this is the issue as you say you've replaced the cable, so must have fitted the F Plugs anew. Did you replace [B]all[/B] the cable ie the cable between Receiver and Motor [I]and[/I] the shorter one from the motor to the LNB? And when you say the signal drops, do you mean the picture goes or just that the signal strength/quality readings drop but the picture remains? Also, does the effect apply consistently across all Satellites, or is it confined to certain frequencies, just one polarity etc.? [/QUOTE]
