[BC] anybody else seeing glitches from AMC-8 ? update

[patrick roberts]

If you have access to a TDR and suspect the line you might even try 
pinging it, especially if it runs underground.  I would agree with 
Jim though that you've most likely have some green crud and water 
roosting in your F-connector outside connecting to the LNB.  I have 
had a few LNBs fail, but they usually fail completely.

It's unlikey that it's either the satellite or your dish unless your dish is
a wreck. Our signals for AMC-8 are rock solid and we've had no drop outs.
The problem is more likely to be your LNB, cable or SGIII. Check your
connectors at the LNB and any outdoor connections first. If your LNB is over
5 years old get a new one.
