FYI, My satellite is 83W and my transponder is 1150.
I did a re-point on my system within the last week. When I was first Professionally installed on 12-10-05, my xpol number was in the middle to upper 60's and my signal strength was mid to upper 70's (occasional 80's).
I kept noticing that my system would go out with the least little bit of clouds--mostly the transmit light would go out on my 7000, and one day when it was finally clear (not a cloud in sight) I sat down and started looking at stuff. My signal strength was in the 70's, but my XPOL number was in the lower 60's and would drop into the 50's (enough where it would fail) every couple of seconds. So I got my level out and went out and checked to make sure my pole (I had a pole mount done, didn't want on my roof) was plumb, it wasn't of course (in one direction the bubble wasn't even within the lines, it was off to the side) and so I pushed it straight. Then, my elevation according to the dish pointing screen is supposed to be 47.4, but it was 49, my tilt or "polarization" was supposed to be -10.4, however it was -12. And by simply adjusting those two things to the correct position, my signal strength became a solid 75, while my XPOL became 70-82, with a very rare drop into the 60's, however, no dropping into the 50's or failing anymore, I watched the manual XPOL test for about five minutes, over several different times and that is why I know about XPOL is at. Remember this is with no clouds at ALL in the sky, although, when it was failing, less than an hour before it was crystal clear then too.
Anyways, I know that my pole will likely move again, and will be out of plumb again, and of course, mess everything up again. I also know that it is OK to adjust the tilt, and your azimuth setting, so I could actually fine tune my dish to get even better signal and XPOL numbers--maybe. But I think it is pretty sorry to have to even mess with this only a few months after Direcway installed. I am tempted to remove everything and reinstall myself. Wouldn't take much, and I know I can do a better job concreting a pole into the ground than the installer did, for one I would set everything into place and leave it--won't install dish--for a couple of days so it has time to cure. Anyways, I will hopefully be getting DSL service in my area soon (SBC/ATT have DSL less than a mile from my address, I inquired about DSL for my house and they said they are working on it, and that I should check back often for updates, so I am crossing my fingers) but if not, I will be doing a re-installation of my Direcway/Hughes Net dish.
I have a friend who asked if they installed a pole (they have a mobile home) and all cables, would they still have to pay the $125 for a pole mount, The answer they got was bull, more or less yes, they'd get charged--and the installer may not even use the pole they put in, because "it could be wrong". And they were told that the poll has to be put 4 feet into the ground, and since I watched my installer both dig and measure the depth of his hole, I know for a fact that my pole isn't more than 18 inches below the surface (that's right, didn't even hit two feet, let alone four)! Which, if it was supposed to be four, then I feel like I was cheated, and if it don't matter, I feel like they (Direcway) like to spout BS.
Either way, I am not at all happy with my $125 install, for that much money (I could have bought all required hardware for less than $20, and yes I've checked!!! Not to mention my installer just used a chain-link corner post, which I can buy for $8 or so at lowes, and half of a 80 pound bag of concrete that I can buy for $3 or $4 at lowes) I shouldn't be having ANY problems with signal or XPOL numbers only five or six months down the line, that is BS.
We didn't have a local dealer when I got mine.
