would scaffolding affect signal on skybox f5s?

[singh1234]

have scaffolding put up,one part is in front of the dish,would that afeect my channels as some have no signal??

I think so as I've always understood they need direct line of sight to the satellite(s).

[singh1234]

its odd as all other channels seem fine its just some Asian channels

[bbb_uk]

Is the signal level low (lower right hand side whilst actually on the channel) or just 'scrambled' type message?

It's feasible that because there are several satellites that you get the channels from, that one of these satellites that wasn't a great signal to start with (but still good enough to watch) is worse now because of signal reflections from the scaffolding.

If you check out King Of Sat 28.2 and check whether your asian channels are on the same satellite.

If I'm correct about that one or more satellites maybe slightly effected by scaffolding then you should find that your asian channels are on same satellite (transponder) and you're having problems with other channels also on this same satellite/transponder.

If, however, having looked on this page you find that you can watch some channels but not others and these channels are on the SAME satellite/transponder then that rules out my theory.

thanks for replys,yes hav checked that these are all on same satellite/transponder,just waiting for scaffolding to go down to see if problem goes away
