Hi there, I have a Fortec Star, Mercury-II receiver and have been having a very difficult time getting some of the channels now that the satellite has moved. I've spent alot of time aiming my dish, adjusting the LNBs both in-and-out and side-to-side. I have a strong signal strength (greater than 90%) but a weak signal quality (about 30%). I know that my quality level is low but I have trees on the other side of the valley that I can't do anything about and my receiver worked fine with the low signal quality before the satellite move. I can receive stations that are listed as 12146/V/22000 without any problem but the stations that are listed as 12177/V/23000 will not come in. I have two questions I hoped someone could answer for me:
I heard that there was a pre-amp or in-line amplifier available. Would this be a worthwhile investment and if there is one I would appreciate some ordering info.
Am I missing something in the receiver setup that would allow the 12177/V/23000 to be received?
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give me. I've spent alot of time reading posts on this site and there sure is a lot of knowledge out there. I hope you can help me.
