I have a nice clear LOS to just about the entire southern horizon. Mounted the dish about 6' off the ground, no houses insight just a corn field. I have a 77% level, but only getting between 10 and 20% quality on IA8, 30% on G10. I tried several adjustments, both elevation, and azimuth, but cannot get any higher. Is it the dish, the LNB, or what? The NF on the LNB is 0.6.
OK what did I do wrong?

G10R is notoriously difficult to get a good signal from, try moving the dish slightly away from G10R, your meter will read a lower sig but the receiver may read a higher sig.
When I first setup the dish on the roof I was able to get IA8 with a decent signal and pull at least 8 channels, now I get 2, and one TP has no Q whatsoever. G10 comes in fairly well, but I cant get anything on TP 11719, mostly I get 11799. few other sats are coming in strong, but of course there is nothing on them but scrambled stuff. Im just wondering if I need a larger dish or an LNB with a lower NF. If a larger dish, then I might as well go for the 6' C dish and get it over with, at least that way I can get the major networks hopefully.

Tried that as well, and all it did was drop the signal on the one I could see. I am thinking either the dish is too small, or the LNB is not good enough for this area. I am going to dig out one of my TV's from the basement and toss it in the back of my truck with the receiver and go right to the dish with a short cable to rule out cable loss. I am using Quad Shield coax with SealSmart compression connectors.
