Just to update everyone on my problem. I had a longer taller arm bent by a muffler shop and used that to mount my dish. I installed that this weekend and am now able to get all 3 sats again. All 3 sats read in the 80's on a partially cloudy day. I'll have to check my readings on a clear day but...

I'm looking for people in CT to list their tiilt and elavation that their DTV dish is set to. Also list whether or not your getting 119 as well. Also llist your town as well. I'm in Walingford, and my settings right now are tilit of 65 and elevation of 29, but not able to get 119 at this...

I've already sqpped LNB's for the dish so I know that is not the problem. It's a phase III dish as well. I'm going to make a bigger mast and try that this weekend. Hopefully I can moce far enough out and above whatever may be blocking the 119 signal. Thanks JohnCJr

The LNB's are getting the correct sats and I have readings in the upper 80's on both 101 and 110 and nothing on 119. I was able at one point to get in 119 by itself with a reading of between 30-40 with a ttilt of 64 and a elavation of about 29-30. If I moved the dish even a tiny bit I lost that...

What you say does make sense but In looking at the sats and the LNB wouldn't that mean that I am a little to far west? LNB is setup as 119, 110,101 and the sats are in the sky as 101,110,119 right? And If I'm facing my dish then I am looking Almost Northward, and the dish in my...

Tha mast is perfectly plumb. The bubble is in the middle of the cricle. I tried another LNB today and still no 119. So the next question would be is what should my elavation, azimuth and tilt be for zipcode 06492 for teh 199 sat. I know what the settings are supposed to be for getting all 3...

I have an hdvr2 and an Rca with Dolby Digital. Maybe swapping out the rca for anotehr hdvr2

Yep, it's one of the new ones that Directv sells with their systems. I actaully wish now that it was all separte, because I would have swapped them yesterday. I'm going to try to get another LNG at Radio Shack, and if they don;t have tehm I'll buy the whole dish from Best Buy just so taht I can...

Can't swap the LNB's it's the 3 way integrated type with the multiswitch built in and all one package. JohnCJr

I've been subscribed to Directv for almost a year now. When I first put up everything I had attached the dish to the side of the house. I then moved the dish onto the roof, basically moving the dish about 2 feet, when I had my house sided. I didn't want to put holes in the siding unless it was...
