Is the H-20 signal meter low by 20 points like I've read? If so why?

I'm setting up an AT9 dish for self installation. I live on the border of zone1 & 2 on the D** zone setting map. Which lnb setting do I use 1 or 2? D** told me their installers have a gauge to determine which setting to use, I don't. (I do have a signal meter) location is West Olive...

So should I run 10 gauge copper line 225' from the dish to the house like dtv does?

The dish is 225' away because I'm in a valley on Lake michigan. The dish is on the dune facing the lake. Can't I just ground the dish with a rod where it sits?

I have 225' of r6 without ground wire the D** guys installed form my dish to the house. There is a ground block about 75' from the dish. Can I run a ground wire to the block 75' away or do I need to run it 225' to the house? Is there a ground rod I can locate closer to the dish? Thanks for...

Is the H20 allot better unit?

I have a d** extended warranty. My Zenith Sat-520 just burned up and d** sent me a referb H10 as a equal replacement. The picture looks poor compared to the Zenith. I'm using a dvi cable with hdmi converter end to a new Pani LCD 37" HDTV. Should I ask for a better unit? If so what one? Thanks,
