    Is it possible to have terrestrial interference?

    ADVERTS
    Hello everyone,
    I just moved and I had always done my satellite installations with success.
    Today I installed my directv dish, but could not get an stable signal. I get 94% on 101, transponder 1. Then as soon as I exit the signal meter screen, the signal drops to 0%, then I go back to the signal meter and it is 0%... then I move around and suddenly its again 94%... but then drops to 0%... I tried with different receivers with no success, different RG6 cables and nothing, different BBC filters and nothing... connecting the receiver directly (no BBC filters) and same results. Or If I try different transponders the signal drops to 0%. I also tried moving the dish to another position as well as the receivers with no luck.
    I am in the roof of a 6-floor apartment building.
    A neighbour tried to subscribe to *E but they refused to make the installation because they could not garrantee the signal quality.
    I said what the heck, I can do it with my DirecTv, and my Own RG6 cable, but I was unsuccessful.
    Or did I damage the LNB when I moved? I was careful with that, directv is my life!.
    Its an Slimeline dish, AU9 LNB.
    Any Ideas?

    Can't see what you have done but first guess is you aren't aimed at 101.

    To verify reception from the sats, tune to chs 490-494 to test 101, 119, and 110. For the 99 and 103 sats, tune to 480-483.
