[Error] Rarely getting Meteor in Color #122

Description

For some reason in 2 weeks I have only received 2 color Meteor, they are almost always black and white.

I've tried 100, 144, 248 for the samplerate from that other thread just to see if that made a difference (it did not).

Here are my details:

Location:
Eastern Time Zone
