signal dropping , is it tuner or lnb?

[river-rat]

got a weird one here

my box and dish be great for a year but in the last few weeks been getting glitching

i have just see its started again. after 3 hrs of ok

example
watching sky history hd
signal goes
87% 86% for 30 secs then drops to 54% glitches, then back to 87 86 ect ok for 5 mins, then again.....

now you may say its card or how i get my server

but just put on bbc hd, 97% 93% 54% glitch

is it my tuner? or dish or lnb? j have no problems on tuner b that is on 13 e on another dish

 

[river-rat]

i just recorded it, every 28 secs it does it on every sly channel

 

[river-rat]

swopped my leads around, great perfect on my motor dish

so its dish or lnb ? or tuner?

 

[river-rat]

ok can confirm not tuner, so dish lnb or lead

 

[Stanman]

Probably neither - I have experienced the occasional breakup on BBC HD and this is with a box signal showing 88% - may just be climate?

 

[river-rat]

on every channel? every 28 secs?

great on my offsat dish, no problems for over 5 mins

 

[Stanman]

nope only very occasionally
if its happening to you more reguarly than chekc Cable / dish /LNB

 

[river-rat]

ok well going to hook up a sat box first, if does it on that i can then check lead ect then back to lnb, theres no wind no rain ect

reflashed with vix 3.0 seems ok at present, still hate the dam skin on epg guys but useable

i have catseyes
would this auto channel fav list plugin effect it?

reflashed with vix 3.0 seems ok at present, still hate the dam skin on epg guys but useable

So which skin are you using then?
And on which EPG (Graphical-EPG/single-EPG/simple-EPG/infobar-EPG/Multi-EPG)?

 

[river-rat]

cross epg

just to advised at 120am the signal started to play up again as in 85 84 54 glitch, yet when i swopped to my offset all ok
so tells me must be the mini dish? or lnb? but the sky hd plus box i had is not effected
