Some Kabelio queries: (we're using a Technomate TM-5402 Mk3 and we're in Portugal).
We've now got the UK Kabelio channels with a signal of over 13dB and 95%, the picture is great and we're really pleased .. however, it sometimes pixilates at the bottom of the screen. It's only for a second or so but with the signal quality we're receiving, it is perplexing. It happens mainly on ITV4. Does anyone else experience this?
We also notice that the signal is weaker late evening onwards. Does anyone else have this?
We've also seen that the Swiss Kabelio channels have a good signal of 15dB and 98%.
We'd just like to know of other people's experiences. Are your UK Kabelio channels' signal weaker than the other ones or has my husband got more aligning to do? And do you experience pixelation?

For me, the main problem with Kabelio is not being able to watch and record different channels at the same time and if I don't solve it I will not renew with Kabelio
Para mí, el principal problema de Kabelio es no poder ver y grabar diferentes canales a la vez y si no lo soluciono no renovaré con Kabelio

I believe the problem is that the CAM decrypts only one channel at a time.
You can't decrypt more channels together, so recording a channel as watching another one is denied.
The confirmation is that you are able to make this with FTA channels.
No solutions I'm afraid.

Calling all Kabelio users please! Can I ask what signal strength you get on the UK channels. If you can also tell your location (even if it's northern Europe, southern Europe etc) and what receiver you are using and dish size it would be helpful, not just for us but it may help others in the future. Also, does anyone else get pixelation on ITV4, it's only for a second or so but quite regularly and occasionally on other channels but not regularly.
Our signal is 93/95%, 12.9/13.2dB (lower at night)
Our receiver: Technomate TM-5402 Mk3
Location: Eastern Algarve
Dish size: 1m
By the way, my husband has spent hours moving the dish a cigarette paper at a time and this is the best signal he can get.
Hope you can take the time to reply, thanks in advance.

ideally signal if above 9db and you should not see any pixelation 9db is the threshold for TM5402 M3
you are well above that so i would not advise to play with the dish no more what you have is the max you should expect to see with a 1m dish .
i would think your pixelation is down to LNB Skew just rotating the LNB around the holder just a little should take the pixelations away
i really do not think u need any further dish adjustments to be fair your signal is just fine and dandy if it lowers a bit at night would be pretty normal as long as is not dropping below 10db for example ?
As a Test on ITV 4 HD 13E 10853 H 29900 i get 15.1db and 97% using 1.2 meter Channel Master offset Dish and a Golden Media Quad LNB .
i unfortunately have no Kabelio CI Module to Test anything .
what will affect pic and cause a Glitch is if you have a C or N Line running as well as your CAM module this will cause glitching
its just ITV 4 where you see The quick Glitch repeatedly or other channels too ??
There is a few possible reasons but at least moving the LNB a little it is easy and very quick to go back to where you started
it may take few attempts and you may notice a clear drop in signal and if it gets lot worse try moving LNB the opposite direction obviously making a clear note where you began .
Good luck and i am sure others will comment some more advice and tips here too shortly : )

I agree that checking the skew could be a good test.
But, remember, the 5402 is a very old receiver and Kabelio CAM is natively a CI+ CAM, although used as a normal one by Kabelio.
So, consider such communication issues between CAM and receiver.
Have you another receiver for testing?
My Kabelio perfectly works in the Dreambox DM920, signal is more than 15dB in North Italy with 1m dish.
