<p>If you can get Freeview HD reception (which you can check by entering your address <a href="http://www.freeviewnz.tv/get-freeview/get-freeview/" target="_blank">here</a>) then it best if you switch to UHF as you get more channels and better quality (HD) channels</p>

<p>Thanks Paul, will check today.</p>
<p>Curiously after fine tuning the dish Monday and getting a 95% signal strength with a brand new Dish TV STB, I switched back to my old DTVS-1 STB and started getting the problems with a drop to 77% signal strength.</p>
<p>Last night I re-installed the Dish TV STB and regainied my 95% signal strength and didn't notice any picture or sound loss, so maybe it was the STB afterall?</p>
<p>I will check my dish and report back</p>

<p>Hi</p>
<p>Is your Dish an old sky dish with oval shaped LNB , if it is most likely its suffering from LNB drift the oval shaped ones are known to fail.</p>
<p>My neighbours had the same STB as you and Oval LNB I replaced it with another old LNB I had lying around and problem solved.</p>

<p>Hi Josh</p>
<p>Still getting some interference.</p>
<p>Didn’t appear to be for as long this time and appeared worse higher up the channel numbers, so Prime +1 worse than TVNZ 1 and some channels I didn’t notice it on.</p>
<p>Anything else I can do?</p>

<p>Is it possible to PM Me a photo of some of the interference or maybe a video when it happens?<br/>It might the device iteself on it's end but if the Dish TV box does the same then I am unsure on other causes of this interference </p>

<p>Originally it was inside a cabinet the TV and located on top of an old VHS player and next to a DVD/hard drive recorder.</p>
<p>I then moved the STB outside the cabinet 2 months ago and onto a stand.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The cables I've wiggled to check for dry joints or bad soldering etc but they are OK, i could try connecting with composite for a comparison?</p>
