    Scanning tv for new channels

    Newbie question, is it possible to move your antenna for additional channels and not lose the ones you have when you rescan the tv . I can receive a strong Nbc channel 35 miles from Nashville but need to rotate the antennae to try to find the other network stations. When I move and rescan I lose...

    Thanks, I have re-routed the cable, changed the power supply location and still lost channels yesterday. CNN, golf channel, espn hd. I have ordered a new lnb from solid signal.

    Losing some Hd channels

    I ordered 75' cables from solid signal so the cable ends would be installed. I don't have a compression tool. When I ran my cable from the dish to the entry point in the house I had about 10 ' of extra wire length which I folded up and buried in the mulch. From what Chip posted that could also...

    Losing some Hd channels

    Thanks For the help Chip, my house here in fl is new and was pre wired so I would have a hard time inspecting anything inside but my outside cabling dish to house is easy to inspect. If I don't find anything I will look at buying a new lnb. Any suggestions on where to get one. I just don't feel...

    Losing some Hd channels

    I installed the dish, so it was probably just luck. Jimbo, how do you re authorize the receiver? I only have one receiver here with me in Fl.

    Losing some Hd channels

    There is a completely clear line of sight, I do not have any signal meters so the numbers from the receiver are; 99c=96 99s= 0 101=98 103s=61 103ce=97 103cb=97 swm=100 Toggling through the signal meter strength these are the numbers. Thank you for your help! ?

Now the game is blacked out on the nfl channel. Is this normal? Maybe I should have checked it out a little...

    Dish type question

    I recently bought a 2nd home in fl. I got a dish on eBay and set it up with the idea of taking my receivers with me to use while there. I did not know at the time that a slimline dish was required for HD reception. Would the slimline swm3 be ok or would I need the swm 5. I assume the 5 hits more...

    Sorry for the delay, thanks for the advice. I have hooked up an OTA antenna. Probably my best option for now for locals.

    Temporary location

    Thanks Jimbo, I did connect an OTA antenna for locals, just afraid toggling from one input to another is sometimes confusing to someone visiting like my daughter. Looks like for now that is my only option.
