Why does my THOMSON THS221 Receiver have no signal or weak signal?
If your THOMSON Receiver shows no signal or a weak signal with intermittent reception, it could be due to several reasons: * Loose cables: Ensure all cable connections, including those to the LNB and other connected equipment, are secure. * Moisture in cables: Check for moisture in the cable connections, LNB, and other equipment. * Weather conditions: Heavy rain or storms can interfere with the signal. Wait for the weather to improve. * Dish alignment: The satellite dish may not be pointing correctly. Adjust the dish or consult a specialist. * Dish size: The satellite dish might be too small. Consider changing to a larger dish. * Obstructions: Trees or buildings may be blocking the signal. Try changing the position of the dish.
