We have one, and all the sudden one day the reception became really crappy. I dont understand why...anyone use one and have any tips?

can trees mess the signal up badly?anyone know where i can get a new receiver or any extensions of cable or something to move the position?


thanks alot

Probably a better place to ask. You might not be using Free To Air but it sounds like it. Good luck!

Maybe they moved the satellite. Do you know what you were pointed at?
Couldn't have moved it far though if you're still getting a signal.
