    Quick question..
    Recently my Signal is being blocky and dropped in bad weather.
    I have checked the dish with a meter and getting best signal available it seems.
    BUT
    what I do find confusing is the following.
    The rear of my house faces south.
    Obviously my dish points south/east
    I do get all the channels but on looking down along my neighbours dishes they appear to be turned more east than mine.
    is it possible I am pointing to the wrong Sat ?

    19.? instead of 23.? :confused:

    A few questions what channels do you have, what sort of dish do you have and what make of receiver do you have

    Thats grand it sounds like your dish is slightly out of line if its only effected in bad weather

    Have you optimised the 'Skew' of the LNB? if this isn't correct it can lead to such problems.
