Default eutelsat w2 16east has the signal lowered ?

has 16east signal lowered over the recent weeks as i've noticed that a lot of the transponders are lower signal than they usually are especially the digitalb ones

has any one else noticed this ?

i've checked my dish and its alignment is fine but 16e is weaker ?

dish size using is triax td88 with diseqc motor

from this i'm wondering if i need to up the dish size to 1metre or 1.2metre ?

Signal strengths look about the same here (on the 1m dish)

Fine here too on the same dish in the Mids.

DigitAlb Tp's are booming threw at 78% on my t/mate

Does it improve if you switch to DISC 1.2

on my dish with vantage receiver i was getting well over 85% on the 11449h and around 76% on 11055 and 11094v

funnily enough this has started since the winds over the weekend but i've had an on going positioning issue with the diseqc motor anyway - maybe its bust as they aren't any good anyway.

other satellites 1west etc are fine and signal is booming in

its hard to adjust my dish as its near the guttering so i cant just go out and check it over i had a look after work today but its a pain on the steps on the flat roof
