[QUOTE="ronald2oo2, post: 54413, member: 16334"] Hi, I am watching the standard Dutch channels via Astra 19.2E. Last 4~5 days I had big problems with choppy TV pictures & sound, until loosing all channels completely within ~1 hour. I used all svn of last 5 days (and tried several other things); some brought back the pictue and others still left me with only black screens and "no picture found". If the picture returned, every time it got choppy until after ~1 hour I lost all channels again. Yesterday it appeared to me that this problem was [b]not caused by MP[/b] but by my(?) satelite reception. I checked with my regular decoder and ProgDVB and both gave distorded pictures even though I got 81~82% signal strength (according ProgDVB). Whith some effort adjusting my dish I got my reception to 82~83% and this solved the distorded pictures and as it appears about 14 hours later, my choppy pictures/'no channel found' problems in MP. I am not experienced with the satelite reception (only used this for about 5 months without problems) but it appears to me (also from other forums when I started with dvb-s) that ~81% signal strength is not too bad. It also appears to me that increase of 1~2% is not very likely to have solved the very bad distorded pictures. I checked the sites of Astra and of my provider (canaldigitaal) but found no reference to any problems. Still I am wondering if my solution was coincidental, and if maybe others had similar problems with Astra 19.2E reception -specifically with the Dutch channels- last days ??
