Ralfyguy,
This morning, with clouds:
1 62%
11 58%
17 78%
22 58%
23 62%
27 59%
31 81%
I think I caught the sat on a wobble, because by the time I got back to TP 31 signal had increased to 88%, and the other TPs were improved as well.

I think if Dish were smart, they'd replace that sat at 129 ASAP rather than having to have West coast subs add a big dish just to help prevent drop-outs on the low-side of the wobble.
That's about what I get with clouds, they maybe thicker over at your place, so it's hard to tell if the 24" would be an improvement or not.
The 129 orbital slot is owned by Ciel, a Canadian DBS company. They are launching a new bird for that slot in late 2008. My understanding is that Echostar will be leasing transponders on the new satellite. Of course late 2008 still puts us 2 years out on a definite solution.
This is what I was getting last night:
1-80%
11-80%
17-85%
22-80%
23-83%
27-83%
31-97%
Overall I can get signal from 23 different transponders coming from 129 with signal ranging from 78-99% which per what I see is not bad at all.

Ralfyguy,
It is improved over my original Dish 500 w/ I bracket. I am at least 5 percentage points higher. I hadn't looked at the numbers right before the upgrade, but I no longer have the dropouts on Monsters HD every 20 minutes like I used to.
Our clouds here are always around, but typically thinner than an Oklahoma storm cloud, although we've had heavier rains than I recall this month. I moved up here from Corpus Christi so I'm used to heavy clouds.
