LPB on 87w Problems?

[Keith Brannen]

Just an update.

Over the weekend the Florida Channel was there every time I checked, low SQ. but still receivable.

The LPB Feeds channel I only got a hint of a signal once over the weekend, but today I am getting it, not very strong at 42-43 on the AZBox, but is stable, so far.

Just as I was typing this, the LPB mux, which I didn't get even a hint of over the weekend, is finally trying to come in! Signal is fluctuating between 0-36, 36-38, and heavy pixelation. But it is trying! Still needs a good boost!

LPB channels were missing for me over the weekend. Even in the evenings when they are normally strongest. Now their channels are SQ 55% even in the rain. Quite watchable like this. Florida is in at SQ 60%.

Lost them again, now just the odd blip up to 36, LPB Feed channel still fine.

Will take longer and a bit more SQ for me on my 75e, than on your dish. But it really needs a big boost to previous levels (a month or two ago) and not sure that is going to happen.

Heh, my 87W is an old DirecTV slimline. CNN stuff and FL lottery still there but LPB and Florida not so much, they were all just fine when I put it up a couple months ago.

LPB is back up to SQ 60% and the channels are clear. Maybe not coincidental that the sun is now shining.

LPB color bars are sitting consistently at 6.0 dB via 1.2 m CM.

My LPB SQ is now at 38-40 (with occasion gusts to 42!) on the AZBox, strong enough so there is no pixelation, but obviously don't much leeway if the signal degrades at all. Cloudy day, had a bit of rain a while ago.

Better than nothing, but an added 10 or 20 per cent would be nice!
