Thread: Star Choice in Florida

The last 2years I have set up my Star choice Disc

This year I bought down my HD receiver

I set up on channel 299, the highest reading (green ) i could get was 6o-65

On checking my HD stations the readings were 70-75 in the yellow

My reception was good unless we had a major storm

I tuned to A4 satellite

Any suggestions on improving signal ?

I live down in south florida and have the same readings.
Great signal, also only goes down with bad storms..

I use a guys down here to tweek my system if needed.
I would do it myself but my roof is not to safe.

where do you in in Florida?

Thanks for your response

I,m in Destin

I,m used to aligning my own disc

I will check with star choice re better signal for HD

percy:

what size dish are you using? if you have the 60, I would suggest upgrading to the 75. Even better option would be to have one dish pointing to each sat with a switch

I,m using the 75cm eliptical dish

The 75e will work fine in FLA

Couple folks have the same setup and works great...they were near Tampa/Ft Myers area

where approx in Florida are you?

Iceberg is correct, I'm in the Cape Coral/Fort Myers area and have no issues with my 75E. We had a heck of a rainstorm yesterday, Dish went completely out, but my Starchoice hung in there, just a minute of pixelation.
