sky picture problem

pmcf

i just changed the lnb on my sky dish to a quad one as i wanted to use freesat as well managed to get in done but now theres slight interference on sky in the signal test screen the strength and quailty keeps moving up and down as i never changed an lnb before was wondering did i do somthing wrong ?.thanks for any help

Has the LNB been skewed (Twisted)?? The connections where the cable goes into the LNB needs to be approx 7pm looking at it from behind and not pointing straight down.

also the extra weight of the quad lnb may well mean that the dish does also need a little 'fine tuning'

You can buy a nice solid one much better than Sky's soup strainer for 1/2 that!
