    LNB it is but strange how it has not missed a beat now since outside temp has started to drop down. Anyone ever had an LNB that would play up in hot weather only?

    hot weather would cut down the signal quality a bit, but not at all on C1. even with a 65cm dish. unless it is very poorly aligned and set up. some old LNB's i have here don't like hot weather ata ll, as over time the components have degraded slightly, and the frequency drift is huge. just a theory.

    Well I'm getting 94 to 96% signal quality and when it happened earlier the signal quality went to zero and strengh 18%, so can't figure out. Only happened today during hot early afternoon here in Melb. No problems for over one hour now. Sure has me confused mick000.
