Poor quality

[buzzbomb]

can anyone tell me the likely causes of poor quality reading on the system test screen. Signal quality seems ok (75%)but the quality reading is only about 33%.

Could be anything from simple bad alignment to too many kinks or sharp bends in the cable. Given the fragile nature of minidish bracketry, its not unlikely for dishes to progressively move out of alignment. First and easiest is to check the cable for too sharp bends and make sure that all connections are properly made and that there is no water ingress at the LNB end.

Other factors that could affect quality are obstructions from trees etc or exceptonal dirt levels on the dish or LNB, you might also check that the skew is correct for your location.
