Hi all,
I hope someone can help me here. I have an 18" dual LNB dish. It was mount on the south side of my house and had not problems for 3 years. A tree in our ard has grown largee enough this summer and started serverly degrading the reception.

So I thought to myself "hey I can just move it to the north side of the house."

Well I have the dish mounted and went to align it and I am only getting signal on transponders 22-26,28,30-32. I have tweaked and check and rechecked all the alignments and still this those transponders are the only ones I get. I tried it on both halves of the LNB and they both exhibit the same problem.

I had it running through a multiswitch but at this point I have it directly hooked to a receiver (hughes GAEB0).

This is driving me nuts! Does anyone have any ideas for me?

Thanks in advance
 
Thanks! Sure enough I kept mis aligning to the wrong sat. I guess its time for a new compass <grin>

It is all working well again. 90% signal woohoo!


Thanks again
