          check ya connection to the lnb and make sure it's water tight... slightest bit of water gettin into the joint will ~~~~ up ya picture fa sure. Even if it looks sealed shove aload of vasilene around the joint and see what its like next time it rains
          If it isn't broke, don't try fixin it..!!!

                The fun of DK when a " signal quality " thread moves to lubrication
