on the sat: you answered your own question.

select the lowest transponder, if you improve that, likely you will improve the rest.

yah i am moving the elevation screws and it improves a bit but only for 1 transponder...the rest are still at zero...i cant even pull in ESPN HD and that should be an easy one to pull in...should i mess with the skew or stick with the elevation part of it?

if this dish was working before, at this location, there should be no need to adjust the skew.


so, was it working well before? did a tree brach grow in the way? little leafy's come out and block 129?? what changed??

 

[hort22]

it worked fine on my house until the trees grew in...a former dish employee and i moved to a pole in the backyard about 2 months ago...signal was ok until this week...with hardly no hd coming in

How are you signals on the other sat locations? Several of the HD channels (ESPN for one) are on 110, not 129.

 

[hort22]

give me a sat and transponder and i will check it out...i mean some sats that should be good reception...

 

[hort22]

you guys know more than me which ones do you want me to check?

 

[hort22]

sat 110 trasnponder 7 is at signal strength 1...that is espn...

 

[hort22]

never mind just shot the elevation a bit higher and i am getting in the 50's...better than no HD i guess...

Did you verify the dish is adjusted correctly? It seems odd that you had to raise it a lot in order to get a usable signal strength.

not if the pole isnt level any more for some reason. lawn mower hit? kid hanging on the arm? etc? etc?

The pole should be made level or replace it, otherwise you will keep having problems.
