Vu+ Newbie
I have for a while suspected that the VU+ tuners have a weak reception. I am comparing with my 10 year old Topfield TF4000 box.
When receiving from Astra 28.2 I have on the Topfield Signal strenght at 83% and signal quality at 65%, this is in cloudy and raining conditions. On my Duo2 I have SNR a 0%, this is on the same channel, BBC Ni.
In general the VU+ (both my Solo2 and Duo2) seems to be very sensitive to bad weather. The footprint for Astra for the English channels are weak. I have a 120cm dish with a good LNB head. With the Topfield I only had problems when it was really bad weather, now the signal is gone with a simple drissle. So far I have been using VU+ this summer with mostly good weather, the upcoming fall doesn't look promising for my reception...
I have seen some posts about this on the web. Is there something that can be done???
Drivers?
Better tuners?
