The wind farm people sent somebody to check everything a couple of weeks ago. I've got my original aerial and also their dish which they installed a while back. He said he hadn't needed to re-align anything and I've got strong signals and everything is A okay. However, he did decide to change a waterproof tape on the dish wiring to a different type. The weather and the reception was perfect when he arrived and perfect when he left.

This wasn't the same company which installed the wind farm's dish and "Manhattan" top box and I declined his suggestion that the dish be changed from pointing towards a satellite to pointing towards Haslingden.

This bad reception situation is reminiscent of fifty years ago when TV sets were prone to losing a stable picture.
