We inherited a dish when we moved house last year and have had a Skybox working pretty well since the end of last year.
I've been tweaking the direction the dish faces this evening as some of the channels have had poor reception. It's generally made an improvemenst but I'm now noticing that the Signal Quality is quite variable with the figure moving up and down and not stable.
I looked at the LNB and there seemed to be some fluff around the two connections. Not sure what it was but I removed it. Also thought the cover wasn't very effective and I'm sure moisture could get into the connectors.
There were two connections into the LNB. Should just one of those cables be connected to my Skybox? Are there two cables so that another box can be connected?
On the back of the Skybox there are two sockets. One says 'Loop' on it. What is this for?
Can LNB's deteriorate with age and if so is it worth replacing with a new one? If so, do I just need a 'Single LNB' for my set up with just one Skybox?
Sorry for all the questions but I'm still very much learning about satellite systems.
