Its been doing this a week now, thought it'd clear up by now.

rofl
that made me laugh.
uhm my computer is completely spyware/virus free.

if i unplug and touch the end.
sometimes it clears.
but i have no mylar cover (im guessing thats the grey thing over the end) the installer said there was no need for it,.

Do you check all coax connections, especially outside? And right you are guessing, the grey thing is called a shroud, the mylar cover is the little window sticking out of it aimed at the dish.
Touching the end and sometimes it clears could be a sign that your grounding is not right and causing a static build-up. Could be a number of things but we can't see it from our locations and mine is working fine in the middle of this snow storm.
As tommie mentioned, need more info for diagnosis. 

A whole lot can mess up.  First, The mylar is the plastic windows as said before my granpa.  It IS necessary as it keeps corrosion away that could interfere with transmission.  If it is the gray cover that your are talking about, it is not necessary.  All it does is provides a home to wasps.

What is your transmission error rate? Just post the data from http://192.168.0.1/fs/advanced/advanced.html.

If touching the coax connector makes the problem disappear for a while, then you definately have a grounding problem.  Static buildup with definately screw with your speeds and connection in general.
