New (old) Sky Dish
Hi all
Is there any clever "link" between a $ky box and the digibox it serves? I was left a dish and box by some friends who were emirating. This has worked pretty well for the last 3 years, but there tends to be some break-up in summer. I have read that this is likely to be a flakey lnb. So I have been given another dish (quad lnb) and wondered whether the box could tell or was "matched" to the supplied dish. TIA Phil |

If you are in the UK you shouldn't have a problem, but note that break-up can be a symptom of a faulty box , especially old Grundigs. -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |

Yep, an LNB with sunstroke or could also be the dish looking out through trees which are in leaf in summer? How clear is the satellite to dish path? Could be the dish needing alignment. What signal quality are you showing? http://www.stevelarkins.freeuk.com/s...Signal_Quality Signal strength is less important, but you shouldn't have a very low level. |

Thanks to all for info/links
Having tried 2 boxes, with similar results, the lnb/dish still look likely. The fact that I will go quad from single is sufficient incentive for the dish change in any case. Signal quality was 70-90 - strength nearer 50. Dish was originally aligned on tv output then checked with meter. No real interuption to signal path AFAICS Phil |

And a slightly misaligned dish as things age and are morelossy than they used to be. And in humid areas, may also suffer from some sort of moss or tree "fungus" starting to grow on them. |
