I am (obviously) running out of titles!
The weather here is way too predictable, another hot sunny 80F day …… yawn!!
It was laundry / crafts morning for Lyn. While she was doing that I tried to tweak the satellite antenna a little as there had been some interference recently. I figured with the satellite tuning meter I had this would be a simple task. Got everything connected up, and lo and behold the antenna was slightly off so I spent quite a while getting the best signal I could on the meter. These satellite dishes have to be aligned in three dimensions left / right, up/down and twist left / right and the difference between no signal and full signal is only a couple of mm. When I was satisfied I had the best possible signal I went inside to check the picture —– blank!!!!
Went back out, played around some more, same result. Now what…. waited for Lyn to come back and then went through the standard procedure of me moving the antenna, and Lyn shouting of the numbers from the TV screen. All the time I checked the tuning meter, as the signal on it was going down, so the signal on the TV was going up. Finally got it tuned in, but still confused as to what the signal meter was doing.
