Help in SW Chicago with dish pointing

[rstokas]

I met someone here a year ago that helped me with my dish. Is that person still here? I have been having problems with rain fade and want to get higher readings. I get signals above 80 on 101, 90 on 119, but only 78 and above on 110, but want readings all in the 90's.


I live in Oak Lawn, can anyone help me?

I live in Tinley Park and usually have readings in the mid 80's to 90's on 101, mid 80's on 119, and in the mid 60's to the mid 70's on 110. As far as I know Directv5 is going to replace Directv6 at the 110 slot due to solar flare failures. Signals will vary due to weather conditions (not just rain) and with odd and even transponders. I have never been able to get signals all in the 90's from all satellite slots. Rain fade is something we just have to live with.
