Hi,
I finally managed to get all the arabic channels on T5. It's great, except that I cannot get a decent signal for the MBC cgannel. All the other channels have the same lavel (60%) and teh same quality (95%), but for some reason MBC (along with Yemen) keeps on breaking up! any suggestions?
thanks,

What size is your dish? Brand of receiver?
Did you set the skew correctly?

dtsexpert:

it's a 30" Fortec dish, with a Universal 1 LNB and a Fortec Star Lifetime receiver. I believe I have the skew correct at 22 degrees counter clock wise.

Some tranponders are stronger than the others on the same satellite. It's look like your dish is not well aligned. Play with the skew a bit more to see if it makes any differences.
