[eskie12]

hi just seeing if anyone had this problem where the signal quality fluctuates from 40 to 80 and picture is digital blocking even on 80 quality on my dsr922 ,one day it was good and today it started acting funny ...any remedy for that...thanks

Doubt its your receiver, could be corroded coax, how long has it been since you replaced it?

 

[eskie12]

its been a couple years , do you think its at the dish end somewhere

More then likely. Check for critters in the feedhorn.

ok great .. thanks will check in the morning , i will let ya know what I found

Some other things to check, the polorizer might be messed up, are you getting both odd and even channels? You can check by going to G4 and verify analog reception of channel 16 (religious channel) and channel 17 (most of the time a test pattern). If you can't I would check the polorizer. People say you can use a dish without a feedhorn throat cover, but after having wasps building nests and ruining my old feedhorn, I like to have one.

ok I checked all cables - checked G4 16-17 and they are good no signal loss there - checked under feedhorn no critters ,pretty clean there wires are all good and still losing signal tv is digital blocking and signal goes from 1 to 80% any other solutions to test that I can attempt

Wide variations in signal quality suggest a mobile source of TI. Especially if you find everything is clean in your system. Radar, aircraft, & police are often sources as well as neighbors and their activities.

I just got wireless internet installed , could that be the culprit plus what does a person do in a situation like that if thats the case

Check the wireless frequencies and if it looks suspicious shut it off for a bit and see what happens.

mrsat said he was having the same issues so by the sounds of it he says it was due to satellite uplink or just the sat, hopefully its not my wifi internet,but I do have a media box with cat5 next to dsr922 ...huhm
