99s has good signal. All of my channels are good. I was just curious. I don't really know what sat my locals come from. This info should be somewhere?

I was looking at all of my satellite strength signals and I noticed satellite 103 has a 103 (s), 103 (ca), and 103 (cb). What are the differances? 103 (s) didnt have a very strong signal, about 50 %. Maybe its spotbeam for locals? Maybe it does not apply to my area, Benton Arkansas 72019...

I'll take a close look at it when I get home from work

To much work, I was thinking more along the lines of dynamite or something quick and easy :-)

I do have a lot of TALL trees on south side of the yard. I may just be SOL

Thats exactly what happened Stonecold. I had dish remounted anfter getting new shingles on roof in june. signals where good then but have slowly been dropping. Do you think something may be loose up there on the dish?

I have slimline 5 dish and 1 HR21? HD dvr reciever. A lot of my HD channels have been freezing and pixelating and I noticed I have some really low signals on sats 103 and 99. So I call Directv and she says to reset it by pushing red button. So I do and all my problems seemed to have disappeared...

Well maybe PeterT149's thread just answered my question. $480. Am I right?

Could anyone tell me how much it would cost me to cancel service on a Choice Extra package with HR21-100 DVR 1 yr into the contract? I'm having tree issues and i'm afraid it would be cost prohibitive to cut down 2 giant oak trees. My dish is already mounted on the crest of my roof so I don't...

where I saw the agreement I had a hd dvr/receiver fail a couple of months ago. I called, they shipped me another one for $20. I got it , opened the box and the activation card was packaged and taped on top of the receiver. If you read the little bitty tiny weenie writing on the package that the...

Yea, they all seem to be within 5% of each other

My signal strength varies greatly between the 5 sats I receive on my slimline dish . I get all of my channels but some of these signal strenths are very marginal. My location is 72015 Benton Arkansas. This is viewing the signal strength meter 119 100% 110 91% 103C 58% 101 95% 99C 53% 99S 74%...

I am getiing 99 and 103 but signal levels are very marginal, around 50. I'll have to take another look at 101 sig level. I know the other sat sigs are 90-100 range. By the way what is a BBC? :confused: Wait, I think I can answer my own question.. Broadband Converter? Yes there are 2 of them...

Thanks! Well, I am impressed with your math skills, You must really be Vulcan ;-) I checked out dishpointer.com earlier today and I believe I need about 50 ft clearence from my dish base. I have good signal on all but 99 and 103. I don't think i'll have to cut down any trees, just trim the...

Thank you Spock. Live long and prosper. Seriously, is 17 ft legit?
