    Default Satellite Reception Patchy and Low

    Anyone else noticed that satellite reception is down at the moment in fringe areas. Places where a smaller dish used to work are currently giving trouble, especially with VAST. mentions current solar activity. The problem seems to have started about a fortnight ago.

    No, not having trouble with reception here on VAST or Fox, a little dropout occasionally on Satellite broadband via the new SkyMuster sat, however I think that is just teething problems.

    No solar activity affecting Ku bands in Australia, more likely rain/moisture if anything.

    If you are talking about smaller portable dishes 'bec, have a look across the front of the dish from the edge... I've come across several of the portable type that are thin pressed metal that have warped and have become difficult to align and have poor reception.
