is this possible

[mario123]

i am getting lots of breakup and high ber on sly channels.

is it possible that the wind has blew my dish out of line? even if im getting full power on my ref sat 5w?

What box and tuner have you got mate? Have any other sats suffered?

I ask because I also suffered from that a few days ago. Most channels on 28.2e came back with "Tune Failed" (got a dm800 clone, tuner L3).

Misses claimed that the kids were watching the TV when the picture just froze. The box got was very warm to the touch as well.

However was still getting good SNR and AGC on 13e. So if the wind did disturb the dish I would have expected the channels on other dishes to have suffered.

Went in to setup/positioner setup and fine tuned by movement the TPs up to reasonable levels to get a picture on 28.2e.

The FTA channels on 28.2e have typical SNR now of 80+, AGC 99. SNR was higher previously.
Values on virtually all non-FTA now around 60-70 for SNR and AGC around 50-75. Before was in region of SNR high 90s for Sports 1 and AFC 99.
Picture quality still very good though.

Strange things is I can only lock on to about 3 sats in Satfinder, 13e, 15.8e and 28.2e.

Tried searching for 0.8w for eg. which I was able to do so quite easily before and it doesnt even go there. Also cant lock on the 19.2e which I could before so I if select a service on that sat now get the dreaded "Tune Failed" message.

Not sure if it's the tuner on the way out, image issue or dish alignment????

Where is your location and what is the dish size?

iv got a dm500. i didnt get checking any other sats but the sky ones seem ok 2day strange?? nw.

iv never got SNR high 90s for Sports 1 and AFC 99 only like low 90s maybe i doing something wrong?

yh check u dish is moving first to the sats u send to then then maybe check check ur dish is lined ok and try reflash see if any of these help

probably it looks like a tuner is misbehaving.. I did have these issues, then one fine day you'll get no lock on any sat.. bye bye tuner..
