Put up the replacement dish tonight. Turned out to be a 31" as opposed to 33" I had. Couldn't tell the difference til I compared em. The 31" is like that of a circle, the 33" is shaped like an egg. Anyways...the good news.

I peaked at 82 for quality on my true south sat AMC-5 (79 West). Very happy now. Although I am a little irritated with that mango tree. I'm back up on the push-up pole now...that thing I know is plumb.

Now, anything past 107.3 West I can't get cause of the tree until I hit 121 West (Echostar 9) and the rest is good west of that including 127 IA-7.

I'll report more as I scan back east to be sure SBS6 is in good shape. Talk in a bit. Also, AMC-2 is showing dead....maybe I'll have to input a live transponder.

Push up pole is slang for an antenna mast! Damn, I thought my mind was in the gutter!! LOL

Yes, I'm open to volunteers with chainsaws. Chomp them hunks of wood outta the way.
