[QUOTE="DragonQ, post: 1068444, member: 115209"] I didn't look at LNB skew, just horizontal angle. Changing the vertical angle even slightly seemed to kill the signal so I didn't bother with that. Hmm. Is this a common problem then? I thought HTPC users were generally able to get perfect signals (in good weather anyway)? My server has many HDDs but they are typically spun-down unless needed. The continuity errors aren't regular enough for me to pin it down to a particular event. Thanks for the advice. I've bought a little satellite finder gizmo and will try to get the best possible signal with that. If it doesn't work, I'll see if I can find a professional that knows how to deal with HTPC tuners. Nice application but presumably it derives the signal strength and quality from the driver just like MediaPortal and so wouldn't tell me anything different? I've had it tuned into 12515 H (typically the weakest for me in terms of signal strength) and the signal quality graph hasn't moved from 100%, suggesting there are no signal issues. [/QUOTE]
