Pretty much anything in front of the dish will block signal and power lines, etc can cause interference. The biggest problem with the dish being that close to a power line is the risk of electric shock while working on it so definitely a good idea to move it a safe distance away from them. It may improve the signal and, most importantly, will keep you safe!
Ok thx I have a question about Lnbs I was just browsing online and I noticed 0.2 and 0.3 decibel lnbs mines in 0.1 is there a difference or better yet does it make a differencePretty much anything in front of the dish will block signal and power lines, etc can cause interference.

You'd be fried worse than my X-wife's cooking, and that's bad. loltheoretically, the lower noise figure, the better it is. Note that on Ku LNBs it's usually in dB, and on C-Band it's usually in Kelvin.
You say damage can interfer with the signal cause before I put it up my lady friend was drunk and knocked my dish over which cause a small dent in my dish not it the front part of the dish it dented the part of the dish that's folded back could that cause problemsPretty much anything in front of the dish will block signal and power lines, etc can cause interference.

Possibly but if it's minor and doesn't involve the front surface that collects signal then probably not. Maybe post up a couple pics of the damage from a few different angles (front, side, back) to give a better idea of what part took the hit and how bad.
I don't know if this is true or not but a satellite dish installer told me the size of my dish could be causing me to get a low signal from the galaxy sat cause of my location is that true do I need a bigger dishPossibly but if it's minor and doesn't involve the front surface that collects signal then probably not. Maybe post up a couple pics of the damage from a few different angles (front, side, back) to give a better idea of what part took the hit and how bad.
So far this is the highest the signal will go even with all the adjustments
Almost seemed to me from your photo of the dish-roof that the dish may be pointed near, partially blocked by, the roof ridge.
I agree with that it could be but not by my roof ridge could be the neighbors her house sits a lil higher than mines
Thx for all the help I had a question I was looking online at the Sats and stuff I saw they got coordinates for directv sats can u lock onto those satsI assume you mean you would like to get the frequency, polarity (H or V) and symbol rates for other channels and muxs on 97w and other sats? If yes, go to North & South America - LyngSat or Satellites - North & South America or Satellite Charts - Search and choose the sat you are interested in.
I believe most Directv/Dish sats use circular polarity and all use encryption. You won't find much in the clear on those.
Oh ok cause I seen coordinates for sats and then when I checked lygnsat it would say directv or Shaw or bell so I was just wonderingI believe most Directv/Dish sats use circular polarity and all use encryption. You won't find much in the clear on those.
So is an offset dish a bad dish to have or should I get another dish like the one your talking about
The offset dish is more efficient because the the feed assembly is not blocking the any of the signal from hitting the center of the dish.
