This ones probably for the satellite experts / engineers
I'm going to get sky Q installed and I have been reading that to potentially get a stronger signal, I should get a zone 2 sky dish?
From what I have been reading, zone 2 dish are normally used further up north (Scotland, Ireland, North Yorkshire etc) as they tend to have weaker signal strength compared to Midlands and the south.
I have been speaking to a friend of a friend who is a sky engineer manager and I asked him about getting a zone 2 dish and his response was ....
"Your right they do but doesn't always mean better, more signal and more power will actually cause the box to crash or causes spikes in signal. they are bigger up north because the signal is weaker and needs to be bigger no other reason and because its gives you the right signal you dont get the spikes. Bigger doesn't always mean better, its all about quality, as long as you're initial signal strength is NsMr dB 7
Then you are perfectly fine"
I'm not so sure now after his response, I agree with him that it's all about quality but surely signal strength has a part to play too?
I know signal strength varies from transponder to transponder (some signal strength will be higher / lower than others) but I want to make sure all the transponder signal strength are more or less equivalent and nothing is below 7
You're thoughts please ?
Thanks guys
