Newbie thinking of putting up you HDTV AT9 Dish ? Think twice or Forget it ! <”Bob”> <”Who recommends a dual reading meter? I read the manual over and over with no mention of a dual meter. The instructions seem to be written for a single meter and I don’t see how a dual would work with an...

Newbie thinking of putting up you HDTV AT9 Dish ? Think twice or Forget it ! dbthurman <"Just make sure your mast is level"> That just might be the number one problem with many self-installs : -) I am not surprise you got a signal but from the video the alignment between the two...

First off I am not a installer but I did a decent job installing my 2 LNB dish, when a DirecTV installer drop off my HD20 and AT9 Dish, I told him I would install it later since it will be a few months till I get HD, I made sure the HD20 would work on my two LNB phase II dish before hand. (my...

Peter, <” Yes go by the signal not what the TV tells you, try to peak in the 101 satellite the best you can no matter what the settings on the dish at this point, the elevation should not need changed, “> I really tried to get it over 62 I was going back and forth 10s of times trying to...

sksatellite, <" Last time I heard from someone said, 3 LNB on larger dish is has the focal point incorrectly. Maybe this is what you encountered. "> Well the only thing I used to mount the 3 LNBs was the hardware bracket that came w/the units and I followed the instructions and double...

Peter, I worked w/the dish today this time bringing out a small tv first thing I notice was the Monster sat meter was pretty right on, it has approx. 8 degs of play as soon as the signal drops off at either end so does the signal on the receiver. I got a reading of 62 on 101 Sat A, but...

Peter, <" The power lines should not be a problem, you would need to be VERY unlucky for them to be blocking the line of sight, I am sure you will eventually get it and you have back up, check here for an installer in your area....."> Thanks for the link and also the advice you gave me I...

Peter <" Remember the sat C LNB is a different kind of LNB from the other two, "> Roger that one, C LNB output to the combiner, w/one coax to combiner from sat B then output from combiner coax to sat b in the multi-switch. <" I think it may be time to call in an installer, but if you...

There is a pulse I think Peter, One thing I forgot to tell you last time my receiver will do a 3 LNB oval dish 101, 110, 119 so that problem solved, ok I disconnected the Sat C and ran the Sat B both leads into the multi-switch (receiver is on 2 LNB oval) for the first time I got life, a...

Peter, <”.. before you invest in new receivers make sure you NEED the programming on all three satellites. So I would hook up directly to the 101 LNB and point the dish, then reconnect everything, the 101 LNB is on the far right from behind the dish. “> Well I don’t really need the HD as...

Peter, A update, I un-did the heat shrink on the gold splitter and install the Channel Master one just in case, nothing really happen (I still get a strong signal on the monster meter) so I am thinking maybe I do need a newer receiver, since the menu only tunes in the 101 & 119 sat, but the...

Letterbox vs Full Screen towellie <” I'm with you 'tryinghard' I have a 4:3 hdtv, and always watch HD letterbox, wouldn't have it any other way. on my 32", letterbox is equivalent to a 30" widescreen tv. With a 36" it's close to a 34" widescreen. “> I think letterbox format came out in...

letterbox vs full screen Wow I read most very post on this thread talk about a mini nuke war, so please get this straight, I am making a general comment I am no expert on HDTV, just so we are clear on this. I always wonder why anyone would want to watch a full screen 4:3 instead of...

Peter, <” When you get all sorted out let us know how much your signal JUMPS up, its a great dish. “> Hay are you making fun of my $25 Monster Cable satellite finder ? :- ) you know maybe I will adjust the sensitivity control down more instead of letting the needle just jump to the high...

Peter <” How old are the receivers? Some of the older ones don't have 110w listed, you may now need to upgrade to new receivers : ( “> The receiver was brought in March ’01 it is an RCA model #DRD480RE just does 101 & 119 :- ( I guess I need to update, but I would think I could at least...

You know that old saying "a little bit of knowledge is dangerous" well seems that fits me ! I installed a 2- LNB Elliptical 18"x24" dish about 2 ½ yrs ago it when pretty well, well I have been getting rain fade more than ever so I trim some branches away but really didn't help still was...
