Both Tuff Tv and Rtv are coming in here Paul but signal quality is about 1/2 of what it normally is.

Working fine here in Missouri :okay:

Coming in at 66% which is low, but I know there's snow on the dish.

Have you tried a hard boot?

[secheltpaul]

Thanks Costa
Just came on here very low signal here so maybe it’s them.
I am getting a reading of 35 on my viewsat

[secheltpaul]

Have you tried a hard boot?

When I posted earlier I was at work/dads, where I put up a 36" Ku dish. At home on my 10' BUD the signal was all over, like you mentioned. Pic was very pixelated.

My BUD is full of ice. We had incredible storms roll through SW Missouri...about 30 hours worth. I mention this because maybe they are getting the tail end of what we got...I don't know

[secheltpaul]

Thanks Gold
That’s a good point. More that like that’s what it was. Sounds like an interesting storm you had. Just had a look at weather in Missouri. COLD!!

It is good here at between 79 - 82 today . RTV and TUFF are clear . USEING the Fortec MURCUY II and 39ln DISH In SASKATCHEWAN

Thanks FJ
Things are back to normal here (B.C.)
Nice strong signal your getting there.

[Gold]

75% on the BUD this morn. It still has a little ice, but it's melting. I'll check the Ku here in a little while


Edit:
Well the shop was 72% which is still a little low, but not bad

[secheltpaul]

I am using a stationary 30inch dish for this. 55%

[Costactc]

My signal quality is still low at 57%. I skewed ny lnb a couple of weeks ago to get better signal on my western arc(121-125) but lost on the middle American side. If I'm brave enough I'll skew it for peak signal from 63-103w.
By the way Gold, we got that ice storm overnight, took me 2 hours to get to work- all melted now.

Night before last we got hit with a blanket of wet,sticky snow and I lost all 3 of my remaining sats including 101w on my 1m dish (83/97)shortly after 8pm.That's the earliest I went to bed in a long time.

put on the sorrels and tweak it

[jvvh5897]

I believe at the time of the first post a storm went through the uplink location. Signal was gone for a few hours where I am. Always a good idea to look at weather map when you are pretty sure your dish is in the right spot and signal is not normal. Even the major provider's Ku signal can be knocked out by bad weather along line of sight to bird--Ku and heavy thunderstorms are bad combo at either end of link.

[Costactc]

Tweaked my lnb this morning, rtv coming in at 92% signal quality.

[secheltpaul]

That’s impressive! Nice strong signal. Clear out?

[trommy]

It's been out here this evening for at least a couple hrs.It's reportedly out in Ontario while ok in Michigan. ???

I saw it go down somewhere after 5:00 pm CST.
But it was back at 6:00 pm here in Missouri. My dad is watching Magnum now...It's 8:00 pm

[secheltpaul]

Working here but low signal

[trommy]

It was back tonight when I checked a little while ago.Probably technical dificulties.I know it was down 2-3 Sat ago around 11PM when the movie was supposed to be on;frozen picture and I remember seeing another time: "Please stand by...."or something to that affect.Reminded me of the 'ol days when I was a kid with only 2-3 OTA channels.

[jvvh5897]

Yep, they must have had VCR trouble with two Wolfman Mac shows, but last Sat it was OK--movie was not worth watching--or was that the Off Beat movie that followed (or both, or the midnight movie on TuffTV, or all three)?

[Costactc]

Awesome signal quality here this afternoon.
