I did get signal up to 40 or 50% on some other even tp's but no matter what I did I couldn't get anything on tp2. One thing I noticed was that all the tp's I got a decent signal on had channels that were directed at the southern states. I thought it was pretty strange. I mounted the dish at...

Yes, it shows sat 77 in the pointing screen and the details page that shows the switches. My understanding is that there are two different satellites there (6/8), and I remember reading somewhere hear that 77 is can be difficult to find - could that have anything to do with it? I'm about...

Nice ones about the telescope...:) OK - so I moved the 500 dish to another location that has what I believe is a clear shot to 77. I can get about a 50% signal on TP01, but absolutely nothing on TP02 where my locals are supposed to be. How is that possible if this is a CONUS beam?! Is it...

Trust me I would use a chainsaw if it were my tree. It gets in the way of my telescope too!

Thanks Voyager6 - I was using incorrect information to gauge my signal strength. I'm actually getting the 32% on TP01 for 77, not TP02 (which is getting NO signal). On 129, the 62% was for TP26 not spotbeam 26. If I look at TP10, which is the one that should have spotbeam 26, I'm only...

Well, as it turns out I was able to pick up sat 77 but a tree is blocking part of it so the most signal I could coax out of it was a 32 - not enough to get the HD locals I need. So....I guess I'm going to Plan B if it makes sense. If I'm getting 62% signal on spot beam 26 from sat 129 on my...

Voyager6, my D1000 has an input for an LNB. Is there anything special I have to do to get the receiver to recognize it? I have the 500 dish plugged into that input and pointed roughly at 77 but when I go to the system set up it doesn't appear to see that I have another dish attached. Is that...

Thanks for the replies. Voyager6 - I might be able to point to 77, I'll have to see if I can shoot over a nearby tree. One problem is there might be some other HD channels on 129 that I need (cinemax, etc.) dare2be - I can see all the SD locals since they're on the CONUS beam, so they're not...

It's no fun being a newbie. I thought I knew what I was doing when I moved my service address, but I messed up my HD locals. I'm in the Akron, OH area and "moved" to a Pittsburgh suburb, so I went from spot beam 25 to 26 for HD locals. According to the spot beam maps, I'm between the blue...
