The 105 (metal) superdish from the factory will have 119 mounded in the center bracket hole (not to be confused with the center of the LNB array). You are talking about the bracket that has somewhat of a three-slotted grove? If so, try the middle (factory) although I have moved it before to...

No, the skew is the rotation of the dish.

Dish told us that the skew had a +- 5 deg. tolorance...that seems like a lot of 'wiggle room' to me.

No I didn't, but, along those same lines...a tech from Dish suggested that although everything says to adjust the skew and then DON'T mess with it. Well...you might want to tweak it a little ;) Thanks

Hey Guys, I have installed a few dishes in Eastern Kentucky. The typical install will usually yield 100+ for 119 & 110, and 60-67 for 105. I just came from an install (wide open view), I had 120 signal on 110, 75 on 105 (the most I've ever got), and 50 on 119 :( . I've replaced the dish...

Hey guys, just to follow up on the degraded signal. We took the splitters out of the picture this evening (I found another 4-way splitter for a total of 1-2way and 2 4-way). Picture looks great on all TVs ! :D Mike, I can't remember what channel Air modulation starts on, But I think...

73 and higher is what we go with on the receiver but we have found that on TV2 it may lock it in on 116 or 121, etc... We have one case that the customer has an older TV that will only scan up to 99 and it won't pick up the signal at all. We have tried both air and cable :confused:

Yes, the existing cable is RG59. I think the installs would go much quicker if we just pull in new cable ;)

Hey Guys, we just started installing Dish a few weeks ago. It seems every dual tuner we install, if we try to use the existing house wiring for the modulation for TV2 the signal is horrible. Is this not an option? Of course all the houses have several splitters installed. Do we just need to...
