Reason S&Q dramatic change?

[john4848]

Using Dreamlink T5. 3 dishes. Dish 1 pointed at 82&91. Dish 2 pointed at 110/118&119. Dish 3 (33 inch) pointed at 129. All fed into cheetah switch. I use an sw21 switch with 82&91 to feed both lnbs into the cheetah switch. The bev dish was setup by bev tech and had been at 100 % S&Q forever.Single cable goes into one receiver (dreamlink t5).

What is your opinion on what might be reason? It has become annoying when reception is lost. Signal is around 40-60 % which is not good enough for the T5 and I end up getting a black screen and scrambled channel.

Thanks for your input.

Is the quality down on all satellites or one in particular. If it is one in particular then the dish must have moved.
If it is all of them then maybe time for a new coax with proper grounding. Signal should be around 90% which is connection to l n b and quality should be in around the same which is alignment to satellite. Let us know

bypass the chieta and run 82/91 to rcvr See what happens

Did that and signal went back to normal. Did some maintenance on cables, changed switch to Baff and all is back to normal. Thanks for your help.
