Hey guys, am getting good signal on all sat but none on 103-ca. 103-cb and 99 is fine.
Would this still be and alignment issue?

 

[Jimbo]

yes
dithering

what are your signals on the Sats ?

 

[jayjr33]

am in the 90's. Whats dithering? Sorry for the dumb Question, but that lost me

 

[Mr Tony]

considering your location (Bahamas) that might be why.

Dithering is the two knobs on the sides of the dish that can turn. Basically micro movements of the dish

 

[Mr Tony]

page 10 of the attached pdf has how to dither

If you don't have a SWM setup, are you using the bbcs?

 

[jayjr33]

Yes am using the bbc. ok i dithered, but still not enough signal on the 130ca sat. 103cb is in the 80's, 99 also in the 80,s. Highest i get on 103ca on a certain transponder is about 50.
Am starting to think its my location. Anyone has a sat footprint for the 103ca sat

as Ice eluded to before the Bahamas is on the edges (not the very frindge) of the satellite footprint. You will need to be "dead on" with a SlimLine or likely see if a lager dish is possible.

ok guys. thanks. Am only missing a few channels so i'll have to make that work for now. I dont think it can get any better than it is now with signal. Thanks again.

P.S Where would i get a larger dish from to fix this problem?
