    Signal drops from 100% to 0%

    Hi

    My sky signal keeps dropping from 100% to 0. I thought it was the dish but my satellite tester doesn’t show any signal drop and scans in all channels from the lnb and from the box end.

    ABM fails but automatic scan scans 606 channels

    Any ideas!?

    Cheers

    Strange my vu solo 4k was doing this, I haven't noticed it recently although I don't watch a huge amount of television.

    Re made all the connections, transponder for bbc one hd for example is on 100% at working at the moment but then goes to 0. Doesn’t drop suddenly goes from 100 then quickly goes down to 0 then backup to 100%

    Yes picture goes black and says tune failed! When it comes back on the picture is perfect, no break up or pixelation

    If you are finding 606 channels, you are missing a quarter of the channels. You should be getting over 900. LNB is faulty.

    In signal finder, check that you get signal using last qualifying tuner and the frequency ABM uses. We get a lot of people check wrong frequency.

    So check the last transponder in signal finder?

    It is not a predefined frequency because there are no viewable services on it, you have to set it manually. You have shown Horizontal plane, the frequency is on the vertical plane.

    Set your scan as in this picture. Please post a screenshot because lots of people do it wrongly.

    Dish is out of alignment or LNB is faulty or a tree slightly in the way.

    A 28.2 scan (without using network scan option) must get you 900+ channels.
