I had no problems until it started raining when I lost my picture completely which was caused by the mist which rises off the tree when it rains, after a few weeks the tree sprouted big leaves which blanked out my signal completely and I had to get another installer in to move the dish well away from the tree and haven't had a problem since.
unfortunatly I cant do anything about my tree situation as they dont belong to me and apparently the signal was pritty hard to find so moving my dish isnt an option either I know its no consalation but it helps to know that I am not alone ....oh by the way can anyone tell me how to edit a post after it has been posted please???
