Well we got our sattellite system in 1992. From about 93 it started to
occationally fail, this gradually increased,but always got away when we
pulled the cable, After swapping the cable, there was no change. It got
worse and worse until we exchanged it with a new LNB, then it worked
again. Between the falures it worked perfectly without any visible
degradiation in signal quality.
The problem always was there after it rained. So I gues it is a problem
with the moisture
