Tech Question

I had a great installer come and put in my dish for 61.5. Ended up with 90"s percent on the meter. Now my 811 shows the signal is not locked in and 0 percent when I check it. I still have a good picture on these channels. Whats up?

Certain transponders do not have signal on them, same goes for all locations.

So how do I check the signal on 61.5? When he first installed it , it was telling me 90+%.

go to transponder 10 and see what you have

You are right on Dish Dude. Somehow dropped to 75% but still locked and the picture is still great so.....Thanks

A transponder is just an antenna on the sat that sends you some of your channels. They tend to all have different output levels so you could scroll through all the different transponders and see different signal strengths. One good test is to go to a voom channel, then go 6-1-1 from the menu to get to the point dish screen. It will come up on the transponder for the channel you were on and you can check signal on it.
