[QUOTE="dankargo, post: 1120914, member: 402329"] Hi all, I had Sky Q installed last week to replace a very old Sky HD box. The engineer changed the LNB to a wideband one. It's been working relatively fine since, but every now and again I'll notice signal artefacts on the screen. Not complete break up but at least several times a week. I wouldn't worry so much if it were heavy rain outside but this has only been with light cloud and wind. I've just checked the signal screen and surprised to see the signal strength this low. Is it normal for it to be as low as this, or have I gotten too used to my 90cm reading around 80-95%? My old Sky HD box had around 70/80%. Is it normal for the wideband LNBs to read less? Did reach out to Sky already and they've said as long as the signal reads 'locked', they consider it acceptable. <_< [ATTACH type="full" alt="2021-11-15 21.42.28.jpg"]139467[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
