[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1068347, member: 82144"] Okay. I maintain it is not fast enough no matter what you do. The reading will be averaged by the driver, so you won't see transient (ie. short bursty) problems. Did you adjust the LNB skew as well as the dish position? ...which means that you may have transient interference. You'll have to think about what the cause might be. PCs are electrically noisy enough by themselves. HDD spinning up or down could be enough. Homes are electrically noisy environments these days too. DECT phones, microwaves... etc. can be good at causing issues like this. If you live in the country there is also electric fences to consider. The list goes on. Honestly: if you want to solve the problem without spending a lot of time yourself then this is probably the best way to do it. Yes, it costs money... but in my opinion you get what you pay for. If you do go this route, try to make sure you're there when the person turns up, and be assertive about the problem (ie. ask questions, ask to see the tools the person uses, ask for the technical information).
