Problems with Transponder 19 channels

[eckman]

I have got my phase 3 dish setup got all mid to upper 80's on all satellites. Everything seems to work fine except for the channels on transponder 19 the only one i watch is 212 NFL net. It will pixelate every few seconds. The signal says locked in mid 80's so not sure what is going on. There are trees that could get in the way but all other channels work fine. Also the other day it was ok for a full day then went back to the problem.

Is transponder 19 a low beam that could be partialy blocked or could this be a receiver problem? I guess i will know for sure in the fall when the leaves fall off.

Leaf movement?

We have the same problem with the digital signal of channel 4 (OTA antenna).On a calm day the channel is fine and for some reason when the wind is constant it's not very bad.If the wind is 5-10 miles an hour and intermittent we get pixles but only on 4.I am not sure if this has anything to do with your problem.Tree is headed for a crown reduction soon.Hoping to correct the problem but also too allow the tree live.

IF it was me I'd either cut the damn tree you can't have pixelation on ch. 212 or move the dish up a few feet via a longer mast. I just boght one of these for my OTA but it should work for your dish just fine too

it doesn't matter if its calm or windy. my only ? is why am i getting a good reading on the signal strength. I may have to move the dish up but i want to make sure thats the problem first.
