Bt sport hd , espn hd .. and a couple of other lesser Sd channels i would watch flicker between 55 and 65 causing the channel to break up and un watchable. When i got the dish put up i had no box at the time so i guess it could not be tested properly , My question is how much would it cost (is it worth it) to get some one up to adjust it ,original guy gone awol. i could reach the lnb with a stick so maybe that could be a cheap soloution :suspicion: . have folk tried to adjust theres !?

a proper installer has special equipment for setting dish up correctly and then check box and tv for working,if you want to go up a ladder and beat the crap out of poor lnb go right ahead=still wont fix it.if dish is out low signal is possible on weaker tps.
until they are rechecked/adjusted you cant go any further yet.

Check your cable connections first but dish seems misaligned and can't be fixed by poking sticks lol
It can't be off much though and possibly may have moved in bad weather so when you get it fixed make sure bolted securely
You could fit a better lnb as well this would achieve more gain
Cost would depend on how high dish is and what problem is.
