does anyone have problems with no signal displayed when it rains?
Quite normal, made even worse, with a poorly alligned dish or low reception area.it seems to happen when there's heavy cloud or bad weather
The Boys agree (Although, why keep equipment on standby when your in bed?)spoke to a sky engineer a while back about this, he reckons if you turn your box off at the mains every night it stops this problem even when raining.cant see why that would make a difference tbh
he did have a pink van though
Assuming you have (or need) that option, of course Andy.only problem with turning off at the mains, is your guaranteed to forget to turn it back on before it starts to record
yeah just like i did and missed the footyonly problem with turning off at the mains, is your guaranteed to forget to turn it back on before it starts to record
then it rains refraction alters the angle of the satellite signal. If you align in the rain it won't be good when fine!hopefully ive sorted it, as we had a chimney taken down and some walls demolished a few weeks back, and the fact the meter showed a lslight drop ion signal, ive realinged the dish in the rain and everything is fine again (FOR NOW!)
Thanks for the explanationwhen it rains it creates 'white noise' which affects your signal to noise ratiowhen its not raining and you get poor signal/loos of signal then this can be caused by 'solar flares' or 'sun spots'
if you have pixelation on only a few channels then your provider has used more than his allowable bandwidth for that 'stream' of channels.
turning your box completely off at night be it sky or cable then you are liable for extra problems
as this is the time they update software and communicate with the box
