Sounds like a better antenna and location might be the trick. You don't say
how high what coax length and type...
Since you do not have a manual you sat mask angles may also be causing an
issue by eliminating possible sats.
But weak signals will do exactly what you see 2 d fixes and an occasional 3.
Thas a pretty good clue.

Yes - I'm not too worried about that part in the sense that it's obvious
I need a better signal
Antenna is this one

which is mentioned in David Taylor's article with the supplied 5M length
of rather thin coax.
Position was along the roofline of the garage - about 2M up but the
garage roof obscures the view to the north and northeast, as I said.
I'm going to look for a properly weatherproof antenna and put it on the
garage apex - that's about 3.5M up and will have a much better view at
the expense of needing 10-12M of cable run.
But I was really hoping to cadge a copy of the manual.
