Default Freesat set up help please

Hi guys I have a problem, I have put up a Dish and got a Humax HD freesat box I have it all woking but a few of the channels are coming up no signal and some breaking up, the signal on the screen is at 100% for the level but is only 40% Quality But if the level is at 100% why is it only as low as 40% quality? could it be my LNB because I have no idea BBC HD is 10/10 not a problem! I am lost any help guys?

Cheers Speaky2

quality needs to be as high as poss mate, tweak of dish or lnb needed...
a sat finder will work great to maximise your signal or alternatively get someone shouting out of window if signal goes up or down as you adjust!!!

you will find for some strange reason level can be high up to 80% and quality like 5% i guess because you're slightly offset picking up the edge of the signal...
Have you got a sky dish up? if so try adjusting the nuts on the side and alter the pitch of the dish up and down a bit if not try side to side a bit...
only move slightly or you will loose signal altogether... like i said before you need someone watching signal levels, the lnb won't move (i don't think) on a sky dish other dishes have a bit of skew adjustment...
