Rain and BBC on Lidl receiver

    Lately when it is raining I get interference on the BBC 1, 2, 3 and 4. Sometimes the signal quality drops to zero.
    However, the signals on ITV News, BBC 24 and Sky news plus all the shopping stations have no interference. How come?

    BBC1,2,3,4 are transmitted from a different transponder,lower power focused on the UK than the other channels.You may not have the right size dish,60cm minimum is required or it may not be aligned properly.Did you put it up yourself because if you did the alignment will never be as good as when its put up by a professional using a sat meter.

    I have an 80 cm dish.
    I put it up myself and have had excellent reception for three months. The problem has only started recently.

    Could be an alignment ,lnb or cable problem, the bbc transponder has the same signal level as the other services
