    Astra 1L (RTL, RTL2 etc) interference/breaking up

    Hi - my wife watches German channels such as RTL on Astra 1.2e , on the Astra 1L satellite. For the past couple of weeks we have been getting picture breakup on these channels. For years these have been fine.
    However, channels on Astra 1N such as 3sat and Das Erste are fine with no issues.
    Also, the other satellites our motorished dish can pick up, Hotbird, Thor etc are also fine

    Equipment - Technomate TM 5400 CI+ with 80cm dish

    Any ideas - I would have expected that if it was the positioning, lnb, cabling etc we would have issues on other satellites/channels but it just seems to be confined to Astra 1L resident channels.

    many thanks

    Hi You can use the POS(positioning) button on remote to manually move the dish left or right slowly and see if picture improves. If picture does not improve then dish or LNB will need to be adjusted. If picture does improve then you can either adjust the dish manually with your hands or change the USALS or 1.2 position and save changes. This depends on what you are using to move the dish ie USALS or 1.2. Regards.
