hotbird signal

snaps

Is it me or is the hotbird signal not as strong as it used to be in this part of the world (mayo). I've put up a few dishes for polish families this week and I've been surprised on the strength of signal. I always remember it to be strong, even on a 60cm. The first install was on a 65cm cyfra dish, I could only manage an average of 13.8db on it across transponders. The 2nd install was an 80cm polsat dish, this giving me a bit more signal 14.6db. I checked Astra 1 while I was doing them at 19east was much stronger coming in around 17db. Good old Astra 2 at 28east booms in at around 18.6db here.

I know a lot of polish including myself loose their tvp hd channels in bad weather (I solved mine by putting a titaninium lnb on my offset 1.1m) I even find myself only getting 14db on my offset setup. (allinged to 19east)

Just wondering what signals like on east coast?

Seems this has posted a few times, I've tried to delete my duplicate posts, but they are still showing. I'm getting a syntax error when I try to delete other posts.

I've setup my dish few days ago, and as I don't have any tools I can tell you only that on cyfra plus signal level was 99%, and precise signal 89%.
when the weather is really bad sometimes I loose voice on hd channels with weaker signal like bbc knowledge. never had problems with tvp hd or tvn hd.

Are you east Ireland or west/northwest Ireland?

SD channels always seem to hold, its the HD channels that recently seem to cause problems.
