Relative Power Levels on 61.5 Transponders

[gpflepsen]

Is there a list compiled somewhere showing the different E* channels, which transponders they come from, and the relative power of those transponders?

I cannot get some of the channels coming from 61.5, but others are fine.

This site will giev the the E* channels and their transponders. Not sure where to get their strength.

At least here in Delaware - I get between 90-93 on almost all TP's.

As i've mentioned previously, the only exceptions are TP 20 and TP 22 - which naturally house the new National HD channels.

On TP 20 I only see around 70 - and on TP 22 I see around 75 - which is dumbfounding. This pretty much guarantees that if it's raining hard, I won't be watching Food HD, HG HD, or INHD (if it ever launches).

I put the 61.5 dish up a few years ago, never had any problems with it. Last weekend some punks ripped my Dish 1000 LNBs off the mount, so I hooked up the 61.5 agin to get the HD programming. I'll go out and re-peak the dish to see if it improves anything.

Currently I get these signal strengths:

1 - 65
2 - 60
3 - 65
4 - 0
5 - 66
6-64
7-67
8-58
9-69
10-48
11-67
12-75
13-65
14-64
15-68
16-57
17-66
18-48
19-66
20-52
21-63
22-43
23-0
24-0
25-50
26-0
27-55
28-0
29-46
30-0
31-53
32-52

Man, sorry to hear that. That would make me very, very angry.

Wow, what a difference a little motivation and getting off your ass will do!

After re-peaking (had to do the elevation, as the azimuth was already peaked), the weakest TPs went from > to:

tp10: 48>82
tp22 43>75 ESPN2 HD Ready for college football now!

And the strongest tp:

tp12 75>105

Thanks for the ekb link!

At least they just dropped the LNBs and didn't destroy them. I put up my original D500, which I preffered anyway as the rain fade on the 1000 was unacceptable. I never had much problem with the 500, but the 1000 was bad.
