[QUOTE="slimbo51, post: 713912, member: 111095"] Hiya. New to this forum but have good Electrical and Electronic knowledge. Reading about this prob had a similar fault with a system I installed last week Intermittent operation poor signal quality. when the unit worked picture was fine but kept dropping out with no signal or pixilation. The solution was Ridiculous, the connenctor on the end of the cable going to the LNB was the wrong type i.e. it was for RG6 Cable rather than CT100 which is was using. While the RG6 F-connector fitted and screwed on the cable it was loose and as such made poor ground connection. Soon as I fitted a correct fitting all was well excellent picture and highly stable. I am informed this a very common mistake and it shows up much more on windy days as the movement of the cable makes and breaks more often. I do not pretend that this will solve your prob but its something to consider. [/QUOTE]
