I get about 20-30 of these per day in my ldmd.log:

And yet, my signal levels seem to be fine; variable bit error rate is
mostly zero and never above 3 x 10(-7). I'm using a 3.6 m (12') dish,
using a Norsat 3120 LNB, and a Novra box as a decoder. Signal strength is
78.
I compare my feed:

With LSU's:

They are very slightly different, flipping back and forth between the two
using Internet Explorer 7, in the number of products received; I seem to
miss a few here and there. Does anyone lose data...
1. When it rains?
2. When it is windy?
Our rusty struts on our LNB will be replaced soon; it tends to vibrate
slightly when the wind is over 40 MPH.
I don't notice any data loss, so it isn't very significant...but I want
perfect reception, even in heavy rain.
