Hi, Just installed a Quad Lnb ready for my Humax Pvr. I checked the signal strength on my sky box which was 85% to 90%, but the signal quality is only at 50% any ideas how to increase the signal quality.
Thank you and a Happy Christmas.
Changed your SINGLE LNB to a QUAD one .............?
1/ Did you change your cable at the same time..............? if not give it a go ............... using the best quality F100 Cable you can buy and make sure it has GOLD FOIL shielding NOT Aluminium.
Check out my friends web site :-
http://www.satcure.co.uk/useful/index.html for more details etc.......... Old perished cables, crushed cables (especially where the end fittings are poorly installed, etc ...... can all cause signal degradation.
2/ Your QUAD LNB is heavier than a single, it can cause (Brewer's) droop on your LNB Arm ............... try using fishing line (from the base of the LNB to the top of your dish .............. will help support it on the correct plane.
Have a look at the FAQ section on the above site .................... you may get some pointes ............... and you can buy everything you need as well?
Good luck
