Reading wikipedia I see that transponders are basically signal repeaters. I can understand why the spotbeam signals differ in signal strength, but why do the others vary? After all, they're mounted on the same satellite...

Thanks TonyS, I do understand you, and I hope someone can confirm how the actual signal path differs from the way the face of the dish points. G00gl3 found a blogger saying it is actually 22 degrees higher and I hope they are correct... but I'm about to find out. Wish me luck! >>> Bob - That's...

Thanks Jim but no smart phone. I'm a security guard and you probably can't imagine how poor I am... if I smoked, drank or had a girlfriend I'd have to rob banks to make ends meet! lol Bobvick - 61.5/72 would 100% work except for budget reasons - I have a DP322 and DP311 and don't want to pay...

Can someone recommend a URL where I can learn about what transponders and spot beams are? I only ask because my Dish network signal strength varies wildly on the 110 satellite, and I'm trying to understand why. (I've spent the last two hours of googling my brains out but I'm just as ignorant as...
