Hey guys, thanks again for all suggestions. I was a bit bummed to find out that I would no longer receive four locals that offered HD thanks to this new dish. Channel 3 in Phoenix shows a number of Diamondback baseball games in HD and that was the one station I really did not want to lose. I...

Thanks for the replies guys. I may try an indoor antenna and, if that doesn't work, I guess I will have to live without the WB, UPN, and PBS HD programming. Does anyone know if Directv will eventually be adding some of these networks - in addition to the four that they now offer?

There is just no way to run two additional lines from the exterior of the house to where I need the lines positioned. I guess it could be done, but I would end up demolishing the interior of the house.

Ok, this might be a strange question but here it goes. Is it somehow possible to disable reception of the 99 and 103 satellites on the AT-9 (at least for now)? I had the new dish installed recently, but I then found out that diplexers do not work with the new dish. I have an OTA antenna on...

If I had known that the diplexer would not work (eventually), I would not have even bothered with the new dish. I guess I should have done more research before having the new dish installed.

I guess I am confused. I had the AT9 installed a month ago (with the H20 receiver) and I am still receiving my OTA channels through a diplexer. I live in Phoenix and I am getting the HD locals from the AT9 as well. Am I missing something here?

I did an AT9 self install and I was hoping someone in Phoenix could tell me what kind of signal strength they are receiving for the various satellites. I am receiving the HD locals from the 103 satellite, so my dish must be aligned fairly well. I shows a 94 on satellite 103 (transponder 16)...

I wish I had known that. I spent a great deal of time trying to align my dish this past weekend after being told that they showed NO problems with the Phoenix locals. I then assumed that the alignment on my dish was messed up. I am now receiving the locals again and I show a signal strength...

Yes, the pole is secured by about two feet of cement. There is no way that the pole Will ever move. Directv said they would send out a technician next week to get the dish aligned properly. I had no idea that the alignment had to be so precise. I spent a great deal of time today getting a...

No - it is mounted on a pole. It appears that a few of the bolts were not tightened properly and the dish rotated a little last night. I have adjusted it to get a better signal (77) for the 101 sat. but the locals are still not coming in properly. I don't have any fancy installation equipment...

I am getting extreme pixilation on the local channels,

There was a strong wind storm here in Phoenix last night and I am afraid it caused my AT9 dish to move slightly. I noticed that the picture for the locals (ABC, NBC, etc.) is horrible, but the other channels seem ok. I have the H20 receiver and a signal strength of 75 on the 101, 59 on the 119...

So, what exactly does that mean for us in Phoenix? I also show a 100 on that transponder, but I do not have any new channels as of now. I'm assuming that they are doing some testing on that 103 satellite before they transmit the locals. Hopefully, that is a sign that we will soon be getting...

Like kds64, I live in Phoenix (Glendale) and for #99 network 11 I show a 30 for transponder 29 and a 40 for transponder 31.

I just checked those as well and they are in the high 60s. That seems like a low reading, but the 101 reading seems to be fairly decent and is showing the same level as when the installer checked it. I guess I won't get too worried about it as I am receiving all the channels that I am supposed to.

Yes, I should have indicated that I have two of the H-20 receivers. I did some tweaking and the signal is now up to 77 for the 101. I guess I will have to wait until the other two sats (99 and 103) are functional before I can check the signal of those. Thanks for the help.

I had an AT9 dish professionally installed recently, but I had to relocate it. When the dish was first installed, it showed a signal strength of 77 for the 101 satellite and it now shows a 74. I was told that the dish position was critical with the new satellites coming on line and I am now...

Thanks for the information. Basically, the installer had some concerns about attaching the new dish to the cinder block wall. I had no idea that the new dish was so large and heavy. He also brought up HOA issue of having the dish extending above the wall and in view from the front yard. I...

Well, the install did not go as planned. Due to the size and weight of the dish, I was told that I need to have a pole installed in the ground and secured with concrete to a depth of three feet. I just thought the installer would be able to replace the wall mounted dish with the new dish, but...

I am having mine installed tomorrow. Hopefully, the installation will go smoothly. I was told that the install would be free and that I would get two new receivers. It sounds too good to be true but that is what I was told.

I have a rather old Sony receiver that works fine with the exception of channel 279. The picture quality is terrible on that one channel for some reason. I reset the receiver, but the problem still persists. Is it possible that it is some sort of internal receiver problem that affects that...

I am using an old 18" Sony dish I used to use for Directv reception. I watched Gol for several hours last weekend and then today I could not get a signal. For some reason, it now shows 0 for signal quality. At least I now have an excuse to purchase a better dish and LNB. Thanks for your...

Yes, is that what they are called? I am picking up five or six of these channels, but no more Gol. I have tried the blind scan several times now and I still cannot get Gol. It is kind of weird that one day I can get it and the next I can't.

Thanks - now at least I know it is a problem with my system. It is strange that I can't receive Gol anymore, but I do pick up the Dish pay per view preview channels. In fact, I am showing a signal quality of 88% on those. Any ideas as to what the problem might be?

I went to watch some soccer on Gol earlier, but was unable to pick up a signal. Does anyone know if GOL is still available on Dish? Also - can someone recommend a good dish for my 3618 receiver? I do not want a huge dish, but something that will allow me to pick up more FTA channels (I just...
