I'm curious about what you're referring to when you say "especially in the evening or night." above? In particular, what sat/channels, and/or what specifically is different about evening/night.
Over the years, I've heard a LOT of complaints about not being able to receive certain channels at night, and have at times had problems myself, however despite having seen this myself, it has NEVER made any sense to me why this should be the case, except in situation where there were extreme temperature differences between night and day.
Anyway, I'm curious with respect to just what it was that you experienced???
