[QUOTE="dankargo, post: 1163099, member: 402329"] Hi all, I've noticed that my 90cm motorised dish is no longer able to receive 39E and 42E albeit a few channels which are coming in at around 25-30% with consistent breakup. Weirdly I've been able to receive both of these sats in the past - most recently, I was watching Turksat just a few months back and was getting reasonably good levels of 65%+. The TRT channels especially on 42E would come in over 75% reliably. My initial thought was that it was probably due to USALS needing to be recalibrated. I did some tweaks here and there but noticed no improvement. Then I checked satellites 28E - 5W and all of those are coming in with pretty much perfect levels, so I didn't want to screw things up as it seems to be correct. Only then did I get a lightbulb moment and realise there's a big tree that's pretty much in line with 39/42E and would explain why other satellites aren't affected. Sadly I can't check beyond 42E as that's my limit. It's a neighbours tree and really needs TLC to be honest, long overdue a trim! But just to confirm or throw my thinking off, is it actually possible to still receive some sort of signal on some channels when there's a tree obstruction or is it all or nothing? As I say, most of the channels were showing no signal but the odd TPs, such as Show Turk HD, I was receiving with very low signal and breakup. [/QUOTE]
