I have a Samsung Galaxy S "Captivate" Best phone I have ever owned...hands down. (former multiple versions of iphone user + many other kinds of cell phones) After the holidays are over, I'm upgrading to the Galaxy S II. Super excited

Just thought I'd stop in and update. Satellite guy came out and the best signal he could get was 35-40 as well. Checked everything all over and eventually found out that my receiver had gone bad. It was the same receiver I got when I first switched to DISH years ago. Replaced it with a 722k...

ok, I'll try that. Thanks

anyone?

OK, when my son got home we worked together and adjusting it as finely as I could and managed to get a signal of 38. (10 stronger than when I first started this fiasco) TV started working again, but my local channels are not there. When I test switch I get 1 2 3 72 conn conn...

which numbers are which? (I'm a noob, everything I know about satellite pointing has been learned in the past 2 days researching) Thanks!

OK, for about a week or so my satellite signal went from 80 or so; down to 25-30. It was causing the picture to distort in and out. We have had a lot of strong wind lately, so I figured it must have knocked the dish out of alignment with the satellite. Using Dishpointer dot com I found that for...
