PIXELing

[urnote96]

Someone can please explain to me...

I am an installer and I have replaced everything in a customers house and no matter what when it is hot and sunny outside he gets pixelation on some channels from around noon until 8-9pm.....

There is no line of site issue....its on the 3rd floor of an apartment and the balcony....

Explain if you could

Nope like i said we changed the LNB ....changed everything

It could be something in the electrical system, heavy machinery..SW radio xmitter maybe?..try unplugging everything from the electrical outlets that you think maybe on the same circut...Could a grounded switch/coax, if connected to something which makes 'noise' (EMP/electrical) that it could be affecting the signal? Have you tried a new ground? or none (just to test it)? Are they using surge supressors? UPS'? or line conditioners? if not, try that, if so, remove, replace it for it may be faulty.

had a microwave do this once turned out to be a combination microwave and bad house ground

That's strange but I've noticed a similar thing with my XM radio. On very bright sunny days, reception is somewhat spotty.

is the wood on the deck warping and moving the dish??

i have seen that

I agree with the bad grounding. Could be a possible bad ground or another device creating a feedback loop, etc... that's plugged into the same circuit. Move the receiver onto another circuit and see what happens.

vurbano,

what does hdlite have to do with this.it is posted in the sd forum. he mentioned one lnb, im assuming it is a round dish. he does not mention changing a multi-switch, so im guessing a 1 or 2 room system.

just wondering?

If theres only one LNB then its not an HDlite problem.

He just likes to use that word whenever he can...even when it's irrelevant or plain wrong.

I see we are honored to have in our presence the man responsible for the creation of a formal definition for the term HDLITE and its addition to the glossary at AVS forums. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=548228&highlight=hdlite Welcome HDTVFAN001 aka Pradike. You are OK in my book
