110 Tp 3 Signal Strength

[DishSubLA]

Hello, all,

Can you good folks tell me what signal strength you are getting from 110 degrees Tp. 3 (Hallmark Movie Channel; Documentary Channel, I believe)? For the last few weeks, on the boxes not connected to the DPP44 and at my uncle's house, I am getting numbers in the 40's and 50's. My uncle even called to complain about pixels/breakup on The Hallmark Movie Channel. I scoffed. But then I noticed the really low signal on my box. I should add that all my boxes connected to the DPP44 are reading about 75 points for the same troublesom 110 Tp 3. That DPP44 is one heck of an amplifier.

Ek, kinda low for my hack of a install on 625 IRD, sw type DPP Twin, SS 78 110/TR3 while 110/TR11 SS 93.

110 TP 3 = 90 where 110 TP11 = 115

i bet his dish is misaligned slightly.

Ive got 62 on 3 and 84 on 11. Ive got a 1000.2 but am getting ready to add a 500 strictly for 129.

TP3 is low on my D500 too. Heck it was low on my T90 dish too

I agree. TP 3 (110) is 73, whereas TP 11 is 96. And this is with a plain-jane D1000.

As of 5-17-07, Thurs. I am getting peaks of 78-80. Since I had my roof done and re-install both my 61.5 & 110/119 dishes, this is as high as a peak you will get on 110/3. This is from Seaford, Ny. You will not get any higher than this. I actually had brought this up with tech support who verified that there is a pad on the transponder and that no further power upgrades will be made on xponder. 3
This using a dish pro plus twin lnb. rolou21.

80 is better than 62, hopefully thats what Ill see when I install my 500 for 129 and put the 1000.2 on 110 and 119.

Thank you all for your replies. It has helped. I am in the Los Angeles area, so my (our) location could be compounding the issue. Thanks for the info mrsat1. As stated, the 110 Tp3 is not a problem for any of the boxes connected to the DPP44.

Wouldn't you know that the programming at 110 Tp 3 includes favorites of mine and mom's and . . . " They all call me when something goes wrong with Dish.

Thanks to all again, and for those who haven't yet, please feel free to add your signal readings.

I'm afraid to have somebody come out and end up misaligning it even more (LOL)
