I can receive a strong Nbc channel 35 miles from Nashville but need to rotate the antennae to try to find the other network stations. When I move and rescan I lose...

    I ordered 75' cables from solid signal so the cable ends would be installed. I don't have a compression tool. When I ran my cable from the dish to the entry point in the house I had about 10 ' of extra wire length which I folded up and buried in the mulch. From what Chip posted that could also...

    Losing some Hd channels

    Thanks For the help Chip, my house here in fl is new and was pre wired so I would have a hard time inspecting anything inside but my outside cabling dish to house is easy to inspect. If I don't find anything I will look at buying a new lnb. Any suggestions on where to get one. I just don't feel...

    Losing some Hd channels

    I installed the dish, so it was probably just luck. Jimbo, how do you re authorize the receiver? I only have one receiver here with me in Fl.

    Losing some Hd channels

    There is a completely clear line of sight, I do not have any signal meters so the numbers from the receiver are; 99c=96 99s= 0 101=98 103s=61 103ce=97 103cb=97 swm=100 Toggling through the signal meter strength these are the numbers. Thank you for your help! ?

    Losing some Hd channels

    I have recently installed a new slimline dish swm at a 2nd home in fl. Has worked fine for a couple months but now I get a 771 every now and then on some hd channels. Espn cnn for example. My dish is supposed to pick up sats 99,101 and 103. If I need to tweak the dish pointing what would be the...

    Nfl ticket question

    I recently bought a winter home in fl and brought a couple of my receivers with me to use here. I ordered the nfl package so I could see the Titans play since my locals don't work here. Now the game is blacked out on the nfl channel. Is this normal? Maybe I should have checked it out a little...
