    Dish not grounded

    The messenger is used for static build up and the ground block its self prevents surges through the coax.

    What signal levels should I expect?

    These are the minimums in my area in indiana. Yours shouldn't be much different. 61.5x10: 45 61.5x14: 54 61.5x29: 54 61.5X31: 40 72.7x15: 36 72.7x17: 43 72.7x19: 37 72.7x21: 44 77x13: 43 77x16: 38 77x20: 38 77x21: 44 Don't be fooled with the low numbers it doesn't mean bad signal. Its just...

    Streaming with Blockbuster Thread

    Homeplug I would not recommend using for streaming. If you use one of dishes singlinks you need 2 of them. If you use one and the other built into the vip receivers it will only go as fast as the slowest link in the network chain. Which the vip receivers only go up to 3meg. So using 2 slinglinks...

    TurboHD, 1000 Plus, 1000.2, 1000.4, etc!

    I too use the 1000.5 for EA and I can honestly say I never lost signal once with it. My signal on all 3 birds are low 50s to high 60s. All I was trying to say was it uses different modulation. Look at 129 on WA, it's generally in the 40s to 60s on its transponders because it uses the same...

    Signal is not lower on EA. They just use a different modulation. So on the signal screens, one looks higher then the other because you're comparing 2 different signal modulations (QPSK and 8PSK)

    Eastern Arc upgrade poll.

    I have NLOS for western arc at my house so I installed an eastern arc instead. I used the 500+ reflector and scew to convert it into a 1000.5 and I have yet to have signal dropouts even during storms. All signal is around 50 to high 60s on all 3 birds. When I tried to use the regular EA setup...

    Eastern Arc

    You do know EA has low signal due to the 8PSK modulation used. Doesn't mean lower signal. Remember the scale on the receiver isn't a straight signal strength screen. On the western arc 110 and 119 use QPSK thats why they are in the 70s, but 129 is 8PSK thats why it's signal is in the 50-60s. So...
