my pictures brakes up using a 90 cm dish.especially on tp 7 on hispasat 1c/1d 30 deg .what causes this and how can i fix this.also the signal level jumps up and down tp 7 with a delay.
I bigger dish will help; say a 1 meter. Also a higher gain LNB works wonders as does an LNB with a lower noise figure (0.5 dB or less). Try tweaking the dish a bit to see if that helps; also try adjusting the LNB skew for maximum signal.

i tried to tweak it ,that didn't help.still picture braking up .also 90 cm seem not to hold in the rain i lost all channels when it rain heavy.maybe you are right i need a bigger dish.
I used to sell 80 cm dishes to my custies and then I tried a 90 cm during one install and the gain in signal quality was amazing... :mozilla_surprised: The quality on IA5 averaged 30-40 % on the 80 cm pans but the 90 cm pan raised it to 70-80 % !!!! Blew my mind. I only use 90 cm dishes now.

90CM dish should be more than enough for Hispasat. Here in Columbus, OH we use an 80cm dish and the signal is very strong.
It could be the following:
1- Your dish is out of alignment
2- Your dish might be warpped
3- You could be outside the coverage area
4- Your LNBF settings are incorrect
5- Your LNBF Skew is off
Good point. I forgot that one... A warped pan really throws the signal off.

Oh yeah...
Also check the focal distance of the LNB. Try moving it back and forth in the holder to see if it makes a difference. You will notice a change in signal strength and quality as you change the focal distance.

you guys were right .after looking in hispasat 1c/1d sat footprint a 90 cm dish was sufficient enough .i'm in the northeast.then i look at the dish and it was warped i line it up by pulling the arm a little bit and the signal whent up again.also the lnb skew was off .everything back to normal and thanks again.
