Can someone help?
Q, 80% Signal Strength but signal quality low & keep loosing tv

Satellite Receiver DishTV S7090PVR Have renewed LNB and tested with new cable, direct LNB to sat box. exactly the same 'reception'.

I'm wanting to confirm where the satbox or ?? is to blame.

I wondered if the trees on the horizon had grown, but signal strength seems good, ok & unchanged. I've tried all I can think of with the box - cycling the power when v. bad, sometimes 'helps' (maybe) sometimes doesn't.

DO I need to buy a new satbox? recommendations?

thanks.

    It only takes a branch to move in the wind or rain for the signal quality to drop from 98% to 60% or lower at our place.

    You may benefit from moving the dish to a better location with a clear line of sight.

    Hi Ian 

    As Paul has suggested below, moving the dish to an area that is not obstructed will improve the reception and signals from your dish, try find good place that faces North West and experiment with a roof mount and a wall mount. 

    The LNB shouldn't be the problem neither should the S7090PVR, if moving the dish becomes unsuccessful then please contact us for further assistance

    Remember this week is an ideal time to check for obstructions  1 30pm is good time to check if dish is un obstructed  

    Its Sun Transit Week   which means the Sun tracks directly behind D 1  aprox 1 .30 pm
