Low/high quality signals on same sat

[manueldaco]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if someone can help with a signal quality issue that I've always had but which didn't really bother me too much before.

I have been watching FTA tv for about a year now and so far have had no major problems, until now.

I'm getting good quality signals on all sats from east to west ranging from 70 to 86% but what baffles me is that on a couple of sats that really interest me I get 62% strength on some channels and on others I get 86% on the same satellite - why is that? Do I need a different lnb perhaps?

The system I'm using is a Coolsat platinum 5000 with a 36" motorized dish and the lnb is universal single FSKU-V.

Amazingly enough up to now I've been able to watch these low signal strength channels at 62 to 63% without any problem but lately it hasn't been possible.

I would appreciate some input on this :-)

Thank you,
Manuel

The same satellite has several transponders. Some of the transponders have stronger signal than others. That is why you see tha variation.

You can either optimize the quality level, on the weak transponders, or get a bigger dish. Usually the satellite company moves the channels from a weak transponder to a stronger one.
