Lost Local Channel - Chicago, IL

Hello,

It looks like the dish is misaligned, your signal strength is low, it should be 25-30 points higher. This may also explain why you don't have 77 on one of the input, but then you may not need it.

I get a message each time when i check my switch that i lost a lock from a satellite, so it looks like I need to realign it.

In regards to the signal strength, i don't remember it ever being as high as you say it should be and there is nothing in the direction of my dish that is blocking it.

Thanks for the response.
