Simon Bolivar ?

I've noticed signal strength being quite low for a while on this sat. It seems to come and go for me on a daily basis. My Skybox F3 came up empty and I'm scanning with my Azbox at the moment. According to satbeams we may just be out of its footprint or right on the fringe:

Even when I did get it, the signal was 51% but still very watchable unless bad weather was in the area. They do say it's not in our footprint,, but it was...until now anyway...lol

Just to add, I think it was about two weeks ago when I last checked and it was ok at that time..

In the past week or so I have seen the 6 channel tp about 3 times on my F3 but with lots of break up- nada on my Azbox. I'll ask my neighbour Lexmark if he's getting it.

Thanks Costa..and your using the big 10 footer right..they may have reduced the upload signal strength or something...I dunno...
 
I have noticed my signal is lower than it usually is here in MS also. Was getting signal around 74% on the 10 ft Channel Master but now I am lucky to get 36-40 quality.
 
Just scanned at 10:45 pm MST and all six come in fine even though signal shows as 32 per cent. Sorry about the reflection in the middle of the picture.

Just tried scanning now and they came in today,,but breaking up pretty bad.
 
They scanned in today on my skybox f3 at about 45% signal quality but major breakup, no signal on my azbox. My neighbour is scanning them in without breakup, I think I have some lnbf skewing to do.
 
Did some fine tuning with my neighbour lexmark and managed to increase overall signal quality by about 15% all around. This tp on Simon Bolivar at 78w is now scanning in between 60-63%. I couldn't scan it in on my azbox but now it does and with 39% and an additional 2 channels- 8 in all.
