Oh wow ok i thought it was 119cm. My installer managed to get all the signals back consistent today on it anyway. I do expect 8w to break up after 8pm I think a 1.4m would solve that issue but 1.1 is not bad from the midlands 7W bein channels are really solid no matter the time.

What about rain fade?

It handles light rain no problem but if it gets heavier then it breaks up. However now it’s been properly setup I’ll have to monitor that again but I expect a decent rainfall to cause it to lose signal other than that for a 1.1 in the midlands it’s fairly decent. I know someone who’s got even better results on a 1.1 in London without losing the 8w channels after 8pm but of course he benefits from being more south.

Hi everyone is it normal on nilesat 7w for my dish to lose a bit of strength and signal quality due to the heat my strength on down to 80% instead of 81% and quality went down.
 
Pete1990wba said:
Yes but normally I get solid 81% strength and higher quality not matter the time of day just wondering if my dish and moved or it’s the extreme heat it never goes to 80% strength.

Its atmospheric conditions stop worrying, There's been little to blow your dish out of alignment and your installer wont be back f.o.c next time I wouldn't expect

Just a little cloud cover could do that mate. 1% come on nothing to worry about.

I’m just saying it never hits 80% and my quality is lower than it is every other day and today is clear blue sky.

Just checked mine on 7/8 w and they are higher than usual which is unusual with heat and time of day.

Try yours in 2 days when the heat has subsided. If not your lnb maybe failing.
Good luck.

Are you saying you have 81% all the time ? Which channels we talking about here Bein ? 7 or 8w ?

Did you get a larger dish as your levels have been a lot lower

Hi is there anyone in the west midland getting bein sports 8w channels ? I had strong wind last weekend and it moved my dish and I had to call my installer back out to realign everything. However since he realigned everything today I’m no longer able to get any signal on bein 1,2 and 3 and I can only get a mere 57% on bein 4,6,7 and 8. However when he first installed my dish a few weeks back I was getting 59% and 1,2,3 would drop to 57% after 8pm ish but 4,6,7 and 8 would remain solid. Now the only channels I can get solid at 60% are bein English and French and I was getting around 61%...
