Signal strength vs signal quality
 

Hello,

I realigned my dish the other day using an old sat finder (a lights+sound
version). To cut a long story short, I lost the signal so had to go out and
buy a 'coil' sat finder ('swing meter' plus sound).

I have now aligned my dish and I have 90% signal strength, but only 20%
signal quality.

Could somebody tell me how this is possible?

I no longer have BBC or ITV while C4 and C5 constantly break-up. Before I
f*cked around with it, all was working!

Some extra info: the cable/connector from my LNB looks like it needs to be
redone (I will do this tomorrow), also I swivelled the LNB around in its
axis to see if this changed anything (OK, so I was playing at this stage),
and I am not sure if it has finished in the original position (I will also
check this tomorrow).

Any help greatly appreciated.

Mike.

Suggests you have a short cable and a misaligned dish.

The connector should be at the bottom and slightly to the right as you stand
behind the dish looking at the sat. This is polarity offset and Skydish LNBs
aren't very critical about it.
