Pixelating Channels

[Chowboy]

For a few months now I have been experiencing pixelating and freezing on certain channels, particularly FNC, channel 360. At first it happened in the mornings about 4 - 5 a.m. Now it seems to be then and randomly at other times of the day. But I have no problem with this on most channels.

What would your best quess be that the problem is? Could dish mis-alignment cause this bahaviour?

Thanks.

what are your signal strenths?

Sorry - forgot that in my post. Sat 101, transponders 1 - 8 ranges from low 50s to 80s. Transponders 9 - 16 are about the same, upper 40s to upper 80s.

Thanks.

Well, I decided to check the dish alignment anyway, and that is exactly what it was. Got it adjusted and now getting 96 on signal strength.

My channels are doing it also on the MPEG4 Channels. I have good signal strenght on all of the transponders. I switch over to check the strenght and it will drop from 89 plus down too zero It will last for about 5 mins and go back to 89 or better. It has gotten worse over the past few months. Any ideas?
