    What The Dish Is Actually Seeing?

    I have a low signal about 60-65 0n 119 Transponder 11 and when I tune in 110, I loose 119. I did have the dish blow over recently and it slightly bent the back of the rim but it did not appear to bent the dish any other place. I straightened the edge (the rim that surrounds the dish). I have...

    What The Dish Is Actually Seeing?

    :confused: Is there a good way to see what the dish actually sees? I am having trouble getting a good signal from 110 and 119 with a dish 500 and Quad Pro LNB but there does not seem to be any obstruction in the line of sight. I have tried a laser (magnetic strip) attached to the underside of...

    Multiswitch Brands and Compatibility

    Will a Gecen MS 3401 3x4 Multiswitch work on Dish Network Pro LNB Twin with 311 Receiver? Will a Zinwell SAM 3402 3x4 Multiswitch work as well? Are these items a direct replacement for SW34 by Dish Network ?

    Why Do I have Trouble Getting 110 when 119 comes in at 100+ on Dish 500 Pro LNB

    The LNB is a twin with two eyes, Pole is level and in a tripod. I do have a lot of trees but I would think it would effect both sats.
