BER issues in the high band range

    HI all,

    I've a 1.2mtr Channel master dish with an invacom 0.3db lnb connected to the Channel master feedhorn, over the last 12 months I've had major issues with BER in the high band range, anything over 12-12.7ghz. Just wondering if this is a sign of a failing LNB? Or interference from DECT phones/ linksys routers? cable beginning to fail? All freq's below that are fine, the issue is across all satellites. My received is a dreambox 7000
    Anyone any ideas?

    Thanks

    Could be an issue with the tuner maybe? Afraid I cannot really think of anything other than what you have said, maybe swapping the LNB if the dish is an easy to reach location?

    Hi I've ruled out the tuner as I've a Technomate 5000 that I use to move the dish and when I check the channels in the high band range I have the same issue, Hopefully its just the lnb I'll try and change it out if I get a good day, problem is I reckon some of the screws holding the lnb to the feedhorn might be rusted up.

    Ah ok, that rules out the tuner then. If the screws are rusted then maybe try disconnecting any wifi gear you have and see if it makes a difference?
