Temporary loss of signal on Setanta Sports channels on sky

Hi Folks,

I recently installed a quad LNB on my dish to install an old sky box in a second room. After doing this, the singal strength and quality indicators reduced by about a quarter on my original box. They are now both slightly under half. On two separate occasions over the past 2 weeks after changing LNB I have noticed Setanta Sports channels (chs 429,430,434) have become scrambled and signal has been momentarily lost. This has not happened with any other channel on my package. My question is has my change in LNB/subsequent drop in signal caused these temporary blips or was this an issue with Setanta Sports itself outside my control or influence!?

Scrambled as in 'not available' or just breaking up/freezing??
Give the LNB a bit of a twist anticlockwise (if your standing behind dish).

Thankyou Kbell, they were scrambled frozen at first, then the signal was completely lost and the message no signal is being received popped up. Ill give it a bit of a twist anticlockwise and see does that improve signal strength.

A quad LNB is heavier so you may need to slightly angle your dish upwards to compensate - I had to - make only very small adjustments at a time though.
