ONN is significantly weaker than normal. Some of the other things appearing on that sat are also weak
 
Just checked ONN here on my Coolsat 5000, normally its around 94 quality, its around 88 right now so down a little but I haven't been watching it closely so it might be up and down a lot.

Thanks for checking starman. I am only getting about 25% quality. It's been strong for me normally. No idea what's going on.
 
ONN is looking just slightly lower (not even 10 pts) than normal for me on my Pansat 9200.
 
I don't keep up with such-ness (horific memory)? But, I'll look when asked. I'm watching VS. Hockey HD on the H side with my Qualitv and getting a 68%. And, with the same dish and a Fortec Classic N.A., I'm getting 60% on ONN (V side). Both are being driven by a Fortec 1.2m dish from an Invacom QPH031 lnbf. I have no idea if that's Low...???

I'm getting about 52% on the hockey game with my Pansat 9200. I hope it's just atmosphere related for tonight and not a dish alignment issue. We did have alot of wind yesterday and it's a 10ft bud

I appreciate your replies guys.
 
I was just out pushing and pulling on the dish without any real improvement. Guess I'll have to watch for a couple of days and see if it goes away.
 
I thought I was having issues too lol. But ONN was down for me too, but not by a lot, I know usually it hits 75%qual when I land on it, down to around 64 this evening when I saw it and began to wonder.
Not a big deal, prob some weather problems someplace.
 
I cant check because Im having dish alignment issues right now that will be soved this weekend.. we had some horribale wind last night that knocked my dish off by one orbital location. Now it has brought the sides of my arch off.
 
Funny this came up, and the thread seems to have a general feel of something was a little off today. I was ready to post a similar question earlier. About 4 or 5 hours ago my signal dropped out (Newsone on G28), in a manner which prompted me go outside to visually inspect the dish. Nothing was visibly wrong, so I moved it to G26, and noticed a fairly weak signal there. Sent it back to G28 and left it alone. The signal returned slowly, and is back to full strength now.
 
Could be very high level cloud cover with lots of moisture in the clouds.

Anything like that inbetween the satellite and the dish could obscure the signal in some way.

Maybe AMC-14 got in the way of the signal and blocked some of it for ahwile! :D
 
Sucks even more tonite lol, 61quality. Maybe it's just out of 'the box'. Meanwhile, NYN is smokin on AMC5 so I don't mind ONN being weak tonite.
 
Still cant pull ONN in. Signal between 10 and 23 sometimes none at all. I haven't noticed problems with any other satellites with the exception of G 11 KU (which is always weak unless I unhook the C band cable from the Diseqc
 
Signal banging tonight between 23 and 39 briefly:p

I don't know what's up
 
Thats really weird Boomer, I am seeing 90-91 here today which is just slightly lower than normal but I've been checking every once in a while and it seems to never go below 86. Something must have happened to lose the signal completely, nothing between you and that bird? an obstruction maybe? Can you get satellites further east?

Hey starman, thanks for the reply. There is nothing new between me and that bird. I can receive ONN just the quality is about 30. It used to be 90+

The farthest east my dish is set for is AMC6 at 72*W.

I'm not sure what to troubleshoot here.
