    *C: signal on 1 receiver but not other

    I got my problems resolved, with some very helpful advice from Mike at Global Communications. Seems the dish was pointing at one satellite, but the receiver thought it was pointed at the other one. Hence although I could get a signal on ch299, it wasn't producing a picture. And since I was...

    Hi all, First time posting here. I would very much appreciate any advice with my problem, so thanks in advance. I have had a *C subscription for a while now, with 2 DSR205 receivers and a quad LNB elliptical dish. Recently my signal quality went down due to a growing tree so I decided to...
