Major Pixelation-across many sats

[TimLones111]

Hello:
I seem to be having problems with either pixelation or no signal acroos the arc. I am getting some stations intermittently on 72, 101, and 123..None on 74 (ONN), 83 (RTN) 97, 125 or 129..I cant check it till the morning, at which time it may all come back..Any suggestions?

Bad switch? Bad connector? Animal chewed the coax?

After checking the wires outside and tightening them a bit, the channels seem to be coming back in slowly, though some at lower quality than i'd like..I may try another coax cable to see if that improves anything more..

I still have nothing on 74 (ONN) and 83 (RTN)..Also it seemed at times this morning that the motor wasnt moving..Changed remote batteries..That seems to help a little..

Those quality numbers make more sense when you tell us which reciever you are using...

Sorry Chief..my bad..

Using the Fortec Star Dynamic Receiver..30 usually is a watchable picture..as in the above examples, most channels are just below the threshold, while others are at 0..I'm going to wait the weather out and see if that improves anything..

Last night, early this morning, I was watching 123W and I was getting pixelation also. I checked the quality bars and I was at "normal", 72% on my Traxis 3500. Didn't check out any other satellite as I was interested in what I was watching at the time. Pixelation went away a short time later. It was drizzling all night, still is. Haven't turned on TV today, prolly won't until tonight.
