[QUOTE="Ron-ski, post: 1101710, member: 416112"] I checked all 4 connections to the LNB, they are all dry, and no sign of corrosion either. I also removed the bird spikes from the arm. As far as I can tell the dish doesn't look warped, I've attached a photo as best as I can get side on. I couldn't find my meter this morning, no idea where that's ended up. So I got the misses to sit in front of the TV with it showing the signal strength, with a What App video call, whilst I went up ladder with my phone and twiddled about with the dish (left/right/elevation & skew), trying to gauge the mid point on all adjustments. It did end up with the dish being in slightly different alignment and a full green bar of signal quality on the TV, but not in Mediaportal. I've noticed that we get no problems on the TV (Panasonic TX-P46G15B Feesat HD), but the TV server still suffers with a lot of interference/pixelation. So I checked the cables connections both ends, and the four cables from the wall sockets to the tuner card, and there's no problems there either. The satellite cables to the TV server quite possibly run close to power cables, but if that was the problem we would have had this issue all along. I did change the fly leads to the tuner card, this is when things got worse, but changing them back made no difference. So I wonder if its a card problem. I may well get a local company to come and check things, just to make sure I'm not missing something. [/QUOTE]
