Low SNR, Missing Channels

Your dish is probably misaligned and needs slight tweaking. There are quite a few apps to use on smart phones if you can't view the signal meter on TV.

You can check if there is something wrong internally in receiver by testing it another location.

Hi all :)

I fitted a Vu+ Solo box (with ViX) for a friend this weekend, but it's given me trouble with low SNR and missing a load of channels. From memory, it did pick up *** Sports 5, Showcase and a load of others. SS1 - SS4 were all missing as well as all the rest of the movies channels..... An auto channel scan gets around 320 channels.

LMB is a quad with only one single feed being used.

SNR is reading only 30%. Tried tweaking the LMB position with no change

The dish was already in place, which I'm assuming is positioned correctly (looks pretty much identical to the neighbours and they've used *** in the past). As the Virgin engineers cut the feed, I've ran brand new coax and F connectors.

Could anyone help point me in the direction where I should be checking? Would poor cabling cause low SNR?

Thank you.
