Re: Why I can't watch a channel in the morning?

... so, by now,
can you just note the snr (signal noise ratio)
every 5 minutes
from 1 hour before to 1 hour after sunset

just to confirm this hypothesis

thx

I will try to do it tomorrow. Regards.

@findeciclo
Don't forget that your satellite installation is older (even for one more year) as well as the dish is more dirty than last year.
Moreover, maybe your dish has just lost its alignment because of a loose screw.

--- how to log snr

if you can catch snr value from such a http:/dbox/xml/streaminfo ,

as it is on my venerable e1 dm500,

here is a script to help you to monitor

snr( t )

script:

cd /var/tmp

flog=snr.log

[ -f $flog ] && rm $flog

while [ . ]; do
da=$( date '+%Y%m%d.%H%M' )
snr=$( curl -s --http://dbox/xml/streaminfo |grep snr )
echo $da $snr >>$flog
sleep 300
done


to gives

20140117.2300 <snr>94%</snr>
20140117.2305 <snr>94%</snr>
20140117.2310 <snr>94%</snr>
20140117.2315 <snr>94%</snr>

It is just a possibility you may be getting interference from a local source industrial or military that quietens after 6pm. It would have to be very close to you.

Use bigger dish, it should solve your Problem , For me, same issue on 13 E and 4 W, because their foot print is not for my region

Hi , Have you checked to see that there are no unusual reflections from say chimney stacks, normal tv / radio aerials that are reflecting onto your dish. Also is there a nearby dish as you could be suffering from edge diffraction which will cause interferance
