Since it seems the Alaska GCI channel on 137W has lost some of its power lately, I'm losing out on the hockey games when its raining or cloudy-and that isn't supposed to happen
on C-band. Or at least it hasn't been a problem in the past for me, with a 10' dish. Am wondering if a PLL type lnb or lnbf would help me out any, or do I just simply need a bigger dish for that? Has anybody here switched to a PLL lnb for their c-band, and did it help any for borderline signals? I can lock GCI if I have around 71-72 signal quality, on normal clear weather that gives me a stable signal, but lately when its cloudy or raining, 66-67 is best my Sami 10' can pull in, and it won't stay locked on it. The RTN S2 channels come in, last night in light rain, with 92quality, and no problem at all. I'm going to watch for a 12' dish, but it's been awhile since I saw one that big around here.
