Just a quick reminder, that we are fast approaching that semi-annual event of sun outage. In fact some members may already be experiencing it. With a prime focus dish it is quite easy to verify, as the shadow of the LNB(F) assembly will be hitting the center of the dish when it is happening. Offset dishes don't give that visual cue.

Here is a link to a site that calculates the outage times and dates for your location and satellite you check:

Sun Outage / Sun Interference Prediction for Geostationary Orbit Satellites - Jens T. Sætre - http://www.satellite-calculations.com

Keep this in mind when your signal starts to flake out about midday and then returns to normal.
