Signal Strength Problem

[cablewithaview]

I would not be calling StarChoice about being in Florida even if it is a "cottage" account. Seem like I read somewhere that the CRTC if frowning on that. I strongly advised against letting them know the whereabouts of that receiver. We are trying to help you out to get better service and giving you a contact and you keep shooting us in the foot. We don't mind helping out our brothers and sisters of the Great North, just listen things are different here and we learned from trial and error.

looks like I probably have the 75cm -- which according to their website should be ok at this latitude. I'll call them and see what they recommend.

thanks ...

Dave.

The 75cm dish is fine for Florida, it's what I use in Tampa and receive EcbNo readings of 7.8 to 10.0 on the various transponders across the two satellites. Also, don't know why it's different here, but my signal readings increased when F1 was swapped with F1R last year.

Cablewithaview -- I was not going to call StarChoice -- I know better than that -- I was going to call your suggested contact at Global.

I ordered a signal strength meter so that I can make my adjustments from the roof to get the maximum signal and see if I can do any better with my current setup -- then, if not, I'll call Global.

Also -- Tampa is a lot further south than I am -- I suspect that I still have an aiming problem, not a dish size problem. If others can get 8-10 readings then I should be fine. The Global web site also suggests that 75cm is big enough for where I'm located.

Cheers,

Dave.

Good deal cuz, I just wanted to express that. I didn't want you sitting there watching ONLY Knowledge and Access.

or call kusat in Montreal- they can send you the right dish
they have a website which tell you how to point the dish.
