Default TM1000D Sensitivity.

Anyone who has a TM1000D not the TMS version, please could they tell me what signal quality level the picture disappears at.

On mine I find that 65-66% is ok, 63 to 64% unwatchable picture, below that, blank screen.

Thanks in advance for any replies.


Robbo

Hi robbo,

My figures are in line with yours - dish moved the other night in the storms and I just managed to get the strongest channels (BBC Prime etc) at just above 65% bit it didn't take much movement for them to disappear again. 63% - 64% seems to be the lower limit, as far as I can tell. Moved the dish again and we're back up to 79% and all clear.

If i remember right i could go down to about 50% on National Geographic Iberia on 16e before the picture went tits up on my 1000D

On my TMS 1500 it was about 39%
