Did it go out about the same time. Or, rather, did it go out at about the same outside temperature? There have been dish (LNB) problems in the past that had to do with temperature.

Not really enough info here. It may just be an alignment issue. Could be a LOS issue. Could be a bad LNB. Start by making sure the dish is aligned properly. Is this a self install?

If by "station" you mean channel, then no, you don't want it on a channel for alignment. You want the signal meter which you can find in the menu. Choose the 110 satellite and adjust the dish for the strongest signal. Then check the other satellites and all transponders on each to make sure you...

If your Hughes rx is between 1 and 4 years old, you don't need an active card to check the signal strength and it should have all three satellites at the signal strength meter (not all at the same time). If it is too old, it may not list the 110 satellite (or 119 for that matter). And...is your...

flyingsaucer, D* uses 32 transponders on the 101 satellite (1-32), 11 transponders on the 119 (22-32), and 3 on the 110 (8, 10, 12 - unless this has changed recently). Because the LNBs on the dish are a single molded piece, if you are getting 90s on all transponders for the 101 and 119, you...

Didn't mean to offend anyone, least of all you, tyork. However, although all these steps had been mentioned, and as bill1955 confirms, been tried, it sounds as if they were not attempted all at once and in order, which is essential. For instance, bill1955 said that the direct test line was...

Unbelievable. This has been going on since the 14th. It should take 15 minutes to troubleshoot 99.9% of the problems you can encounter with a D* system. OK, Bill, I'm there are three pages of responses here, so I'm going to go off your original post. 1. You were getting signal strengths of...

Thank you. That is a great help.

Anyone out there know a reliable tech who can repair Ultimate TV units? I have two that simply stopped working ( don't recall the specific issues at the moment- I believe one powers up, then shuts down after 1 or 2 minutes). I understand these units were fraught with issues, but I think they...

Not to my knowledge. Off-air signal meters start somewhere around $400 as far as I know. It has been a while since I looked, though. However, if you have an off-air digital/HD tuner, then for less than $50 you can get a baby monitor. Place the monitor transmitter in front of the tv and turn the...

I don't know that there is any way to pre-determine the elevation and skew. However, the antenna is made to allow change of both (elevation meaning a front-to-back angling, skew meaning the ability to spin the antenna in a clockwise/counterclockwise fashion). Without a meter you will simply have...

Yagis are directional antennas. For your stations it would need to be repointed from 150 to 14 (rotor). The Winegard Sensar is a very good short-range bi-directional antenna. If you have a professional out to do the install (always recommended), they should be able to give you some good options...

trav, Since you already bought the terk, try it first. If it works, it is a much better option aesthetically. If it does not work, the Square Shooter will. However, do NOT mount it to the dish mast. I know, the picture shows this option, but the dish mast is not rated for this kind of wind...

trav, first, if you are only 15 miles from the transmit towers, assuming you are not behind a mountain or in the middle of a forest, the terk antenna should work fine. They are not the best antennas, but do just fine at close range. When the BB associate said it attaches to your LNB, he was...
