Reply #4: Sounds like some water has got in the line somewhere.

Either that or it's got into the LNB at the front of the dish.

I had a crappy self-installation that OK when the rain started it would be OK but as it soaked in the signal level would drop. A couple of days later when it dried out, the satellite started working just fine again.

Re-doing the plugs and making sure everything was weatherproofed did the trick. But this was a temporary installation at the end of the day anyway.

Mark.
