BT sport HD signal

**chalkster** · 10-04-2015, 08:24 AM

Hi are there any issues with signal strength on The BT sport HD channels I live in south Yorkshire and only getting between 59% and 62% signal strength, using sky fixed dish zone 2. This problem only started a couple of days ago. BT sport sd and many other channels showing 99% to 100%. as far as I know dish has not moved and there as been no strong winds.

just checked, fine here in north Lincs.
I'd try a rescan of the channels.

It is slightly lower strength generally than the others as its on 28.5e not 28.2e and needs fine tuning to offset the two.

Thanks for reply's guys. Did rescan still the same. Looked into further and found stb been fed by twin coaxial cable even though only 1 lnb input on box. I have swopped input to stb with a single coaxial cable fed from same lnb Signal as gone up to 75% and picture not breaking up any more. Would you say this is about right signal strength for my area (South Yorkshire) on BT Sport HD, or do I need to look into dish adjustment??? I am aware that you get a drop in signal strength when twin coax is used. With luck I can now watch Moto GP practices, in HD this afternoon.

could be one of the outputs on the lnb is dying. I have had to swap a few times, then eventually it is a new lnb needed.
Ill be watching the MotoGP too.

Thanks for info. I've ordered another one, belt and braces and all that

I too am in North Lincs/South Yorks area mate, but cant really do a 'like for like' comparison as my TM5402HD M3 is attached to a 1.1M dish with great white Sharp LNB and BT Sports HD shows nearly 90% signal (although the normal Sly channels show 97-98%)
Whilst through the small Sly dish (maybe level 2) on Slybox I 'seem' to be getting good signal here too ( but with a different LNB of course to the other setup) - but although as I don't to sub for BT Sport I cant actually measure it - however in my experience if signal were too low it would show as 'No Satellite Signal' etc!
(I could connect Slyfeed to TM5402HD to try for you - but wont if you now ok mate!)
