SOLUTION: Two outings ago I intentionally re-shaped / warped the reflector in the long (width) direction, making for a sharper focus. Who knew? Gain on 72 went up from high 30's to mid 50's and the "obstructed" 72 channels started coming in like the other 72 channels. 62.5 satellite is...

Already did that with the 211 I removed in August (HDMI stopped outputing but composite video still worked). I'm thinking about swapping with the house reflector for testing but pretty sure I know the result. - b

Yup, same setup. Triple LNB for EA on both house and "RV" (keep in mind this is a 4 legged PVC stand that can be set up anywhere). Of course the 3rd LNB for 77 is no longer supported in the US. House receiver has signal strengths in the 50's, the RV dish signal in the 30's. In the house...

Wiring was direct from LNB to receiver. No splitters, no extra connectors. Just RG6. The receiver was purchased as well as the reflector and LNB setup. I doubt Dish would replace the reflector. If I'm guessing right, the select non-working channels are on the same transponder and that...

An update . . . . I bought a new set of LNB's. No change in the problem (some 72 bird channels show lost sat signal). I finally got the time and weather to play with the setup. I set up the dish again and eliminated the umbilical cable between the LNBs and the cable that goes into the RV...

ViP211z, 1000.4 dish, triple LNB, mobile "RV" setup I use this setup in an RV and move frequently, probably setting up 26 times per year. The dish is on a PVC 4 legged stand and gets stowed in the belly of the beast between trips. Been doing this for over a decade, so it's a proven setup...

Our decision was simple - VERSUS! Direct TV = No Dish Network = Yes I heard the boneheads at Direct TV wouldn't allow VS on their satellite because VS was owned by Comcast? and they didn't want any revenue going to a cable company. I'm not sayin that's true, just what I heard. Doesn't matter...
