[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 1126772, member: 176362"] Ive got an old Technomate connected to an analogue tv card, and 25 years playing around with satellite tv. I cant get 4W here, Im too far north to have a realistic chance of getting it on any sensible sized dish (Im 30 miles south of Edinburgh) Symptoms are simple. The signal goes from maximum signal to literally nothing in a fraction of a second. (Plenty of signal of 5E here so its not a marginal downlink. Its not particularly windy so the dishes wont be bouncing around like they do in a good gale.) Occasionally some broken signal reappears then after a bit the signals come back. Just atm Im looking, Glas on 12073H. The TM shows 12.2dB, its a reasonable day here, cloudy but no rain. Intermittent break up. When I put the system on about 10.20, no signal on any of the channels I flicked through. No issues on the Ukrainian channels on 13E. If it was pouring with rain Id blame the rain & water vapour in the clouds for the break up but its not. I shall see about rigging a dedicated dish for 5E over the weekend - atm Im running an offset lnb on one of the other dishes. [/QUOTE]
