Lately, I'm having a weird problem when switching from one sat to another. It never happens if I go to 30W, 19E, 13E or 1W.

However if I go to Fox Sports on 8W, sometimes the image takes even up to half a minute to appear after the motor stopped. Other times, simply the red indicator of signal strength doesn't appear. This also happens if I go to 15W or 12.5W.

In fact, last night I turned on the receiver, I had left it on Fox Sports on 8W, and there it was!, perfect!. Then I switched to a free channel on 30W, for about an hour. When I went back to Fox, nothing doing!, I tried to fine tune but I couldn't get anything on the lower bar indicating signal quality.

Since the motor seems to be working ok, I wonder if it might have to do with the channel settings or with some part of the 5400 hardware.

Any commentsd or advice?

cable to the lnb, has it room to move, connectors? weaker channels?

Well Giga, certainly the reception on those 3 sats is not as strong as Astra and Hispasat, but neither it is on 1W and I only have problems with this one when there is very heavy rain. When the reception is ok, Fox on 8w comes in perfectly.

As far as the cable and connectors, I checked both and they are ok.
