You probably won't notice that - until it rains, and your already-compromised signal is reduced to almost nothing.
The dish may not have been properly aligned to start with, or it may have shifted if it's particularly exposed to wind, or are there perhaps trees nearby that have grown up and begun to get in the way?
You need the services of a competent, independent aerial installer.

There's no trees in the way, no. There's an unobstructed view of the sky. ..i do live on the coast though. And it gets pretty windy here sometimes. So i guess the mini-dish could be prone to being moved.. I don't think it's wire degradation or anything like that. The set up is less than a year old, and seems in pretty good condition.
Something i've just thought of though, does the number of feeds coming of one dish make a difference to picture quality? Downstairs i've got two feeds going into a humax freesat+ box, and another feed going upstairs to a sky digibox. Would splitting the signal 3 ways like that reduce the picture quality, or does that not make a difference? |
