Hi all,
In recent weeks i have been experiencing picture breakup on my official viasat package in the evenings. I decided something must have happened my dish so yesterday i took my signal meter out to my dish to check. At around 2pm i was getting great results- about 56% quality on the horizontals and 59% on the verticals which i have always found stronger (I have found that a quality level of around 40% clears on my receiver). I watched a match yesterday fine but around 5:15pm i noticed that picture breakup was begining to happen. So i went out again around 7pm to check the dish with my meter and found that the quality readings on the horizontals had dropped to around 37% and 44% on the verticals. The cloud cover was roughly the same on both occassions. I have this 1.85m prime focus dish installed for about 6 months and this is the first time i have had any problems.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I know from reading the forums that people in Spain loose some of there sky channels at night- not sure why though.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
