Of course. I had nothing to lose trying to form a reflector was already paid for. But this proves it was the reflector and not an alignment or plumb or whatever issue.

Final update. Maybe someone can learn from my issue. I used a rubber mallet and made all the edges smooth on the reflector. I did notice some dents. Bingo! 90s for signal strength on 101. All HD channels coming in. Tailgating will be more enjoyable next weekend. Thanks for everyone who...

Update. I had a contractor come by today. He was getting same results. We started physically pulling on the top of the slimline reflector. Signal increased to mid 70s. Looks like a I have a mis-shapen reflector. It does not appear warped upon visual inspection, but it obviously is. I...

Hey Jimbo - I was confused on that point as well. I believe dishpointer means to rotate clockwise 20.3 degrees from a reference of 90. This would give you approximately 79 degree tilt.

I apologize about the tilt in earlier post. Typo. Data from Dishpointer are correct. Also - these values correspond to values on Setup Page of Directv menu: Dish = SL3-S AZ = 205 ELEV = 49 TILT = 71

Yes - Jimbo. Those are correct. I have given up and have a local contractor coming on Wednesday. As I mentioned, I have been doing this for many years now. I will be interested in what we find out.

Again - Thank you for continuing to respond. Brought everything back home today (at least the Crimson Tide won yesterday, unlike last week). Getting same results. Attached are pictures of level, elevation and tilt. I am pointing AZ to 205. Literally standing below the installed Directv Dish...

Firstly - you guys are awesome for answering so quickly. It's gameday in the south! Heading out in a few minutes and will try again this week. I will try to bypass the splitter today and have the PI directly connected to the LNB. I am using a PI21R1-03. Specs on the unit say 21V output. I...

Jimbo - Thanks for responding so quickly. I don't think so. I am pointing the dish a bit east of AZ 205 and doing a slow sweep west. The numbers posted are the best I can get. I have also adjusted the elevation up and down from 49 (45-55) once I get maximum values on the AZ sweep. 49...

Good Afternoon, I have a tripod setup that I have used for tailgating over the past 4 seasons. I have not had an issue in the past aligning the dish and getting HD service. Last weekend, I struck out for the first time. I brought the equipment home. Struck out again. Following is my setup...
