When you say 30%, do you mean 30 points on the point dish screen?

Now am actually a little insulted...as I previously stated ITS NOT the installation nor the alignment.

Anywho, since some of you like to read...

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon, clearly blue skies, a small breeze from the south west...the little guy was napping to the sweet sounds of
birds chirping from the nearby trees. I took out the 20" dish from the shed and connected it to the VIP622, aimed and couldnt do better than 30% on 72W (wishing to sub to Dish America). Checked out Satbeans and confirmed am in the foot print. Swap out LNBs (no change), run new RG6 quad shielded cables (crimped myself)...no change 30%. Since the dish was on a tripod, I changed locations..... no change

On the 39" dish, moved it to 72W, changed LNBs... 30%.

Bypassed the powerbar and plugged her directly into the wall (30% no change).

Recap: 1 x 20" dish, 1 x 39" dish, 3 different LNBs, new RG6 (max length 30ft), weather clear = 30% no more nor less

After all of the above I posted this question: Has anyone ever seen a VIP612 with defective/wonky tuners?

OK with all that great information I bet you have a bad 612...

I had a 722 with a bad one.

Over the weekend, Ill try another sat and/or swap out receivers (got a 222 lying around).
If its the receiver, I'll just blame rey!
