    hi guys
    3 LNBs on one 80cm dish in fairly sheltered area. Signal / quality dropping from 90% to very low and back again on all LNBs. Picture freezing etc. Just like in heavy weather. Anyone know of any reason for this other than dish moved slightly??. Before I start climbing
    thanks in advance

    Could be wonky. Try bypassing the switch and connecting each LNBF directly in turn and see how they go.

    Just in case it hasn't been thought of, are there any trees or bushes that may have grown in front of the dish? Wind blowing a few branches around could cause the signal to be erratic.

    Nah Byte. My first thought was dish moved slightly. But it's sheltered and there has been no wind. Then I wondered was it the good weather ( remembering long ago we got bad reception with very good weather on cable....) Sun spots? .
    Now stop that this minute!!! Mammy they're laughing at me again...Boo hoo... they won't play nice...
