Linux: We get rain fade & pixilated picture now mainly in the evening. Have had Sky tech out twice lots of work done but issue is still happening so now get Sky for half price after complaining

 

Internet options mean:

 

  • no such thing as rain fade
  • no dependence on the (fast disappearing) Sky techs 😉



This simply isn't true.
If it rains and your roof leaks onto your ONT/Router you get rain fade.

 

What nonsense.  Your ONT is always inside a building, with a weatherproof ETP on the outside.  Your internet app will never detect rainfade - only your satellite decoder will report this.  If your internet service fails, this will be reported as a network failure.

 

 

I think @muppet was taking the yellow precipitation.





Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

I would have thought that UHD content delivery would be better via an internet connection. 

 

 

@OldGeek Why would you think that? UHD is UHD no matter what technology it is delivered over

 

 

Yes but different codecs and different bitrates deliver wildly different results despite both being "UHD."
