[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 696541, member: 323322"] Also, the "Metering" on Sky Digiboxes isn't of the most reliable or meaningful nature, so the readings are only of value for local optimisation, rather than comparison with any other Sky installation. For Digital Satellite TV, once strength exceeds a threshold any further increase in strength really only improves "rain margin". I think your problem lies elsewhere: You don't say, for example, exactly which Receiver you are using and that could be hihkly relevant as over the years certain models are known to tend towards degradation or impending failure and can display symptoms of loss of some channels exactly as you describe. So can you please give us more details of your kit? Edit: I see your profile says Amstrad: Which model? Early ones displayed Tuner faults which gave rise to loss of some Channels. [/QUOTE]
