I have just brought our receiving station off line, the signal strength has

dropped to less than 20%. We have had some wild weather here in Galway (west of Ireland) so I presume that the dish has been nudged slightly (our old dish blew off the roof). Our setup is as follows Receiving Machine: PIII 500 windows 2000 128 megs ram + Technisat DVB card Storage Server: AlphaStation 233Mhz Linux and Samba Processing Machine: P4 3.06Gigahertz HyperThreading Any alternative thoughts on the cause of the signal strength drop would be welcome regards Conor

Subject: Re: [MSG-1] Re:Missing segments Alan, I do agree with you, but nevertheless it is still another consideration for those that are having unexplained segment loss. If there is one thing that has become clear with receiving MSG on home computers, it is that there is a number of variables that can cause problems for some and not others. I consider myself to be very lucky in that even with a fairly low spec. computer ( Athlon 1200 -- 768mb ram ) I do not have any segment loss at my end even when using the computer for my normal day to day use. I even tried playing a fairly high spec computer game ( without Data Manager ) with data coming in without loss. However again last night I experimented with Setup4PC and found when I opened it there was no data loss, but as soon as I opened status, problems started. Still it is not a worry for me as I do not use Setup4PC when data is coming in --- I am not interested in monitoring signal level.
