    97W - can’t get good signal quality

    To all of my new satellite guys support friends. The GTMedia V7S HD receiver ($35) on amazon was all that was needed. BVN is coming in clear as a bell now with a 70% signal quality. Thanks again to all of you for your input and support along my way. The wife is happy with her Dutch television...

    97W - can’t get good signal quality

    I put the dish up on the roof today, located 97W and same results - Pixelation. I have ordered a cheap/new dvbs2 which will arrive Monday, 12/23. Hoping for a clear picture with new Digital receiver. Fingers crossed!

    97W - can’t get good signal quality

    Yes I measured the voltage at the cable by the LNBF prior to purchasing the new bigger dish.....it was good. LNBF is new - came with the geosatpro dish a week ago. RG6 cable, one pice approx 30 ft long, no splices and connectors are original and not loose or damaged. I’m still leaning towards...

    Dish is flat on all edges on a flat surface. I had seen the video previously and checked the dish prior to install.

    97W - can’t get good signal quality

    I was using 18.8 skew for the lnb which was given to me from Satellite Pointer app. I just set it to 22.9 with the same pixelation issues. To the roof I will go. I will provide an update on Saturday ya’ll!

    97W - can’t get good signal quality

    Thanks for your reply. I did know about 113W also. View of it below. Kind of the same TREE issue but I will keep it in mind. How did you come up with 23 degrees CCW for the lnb skew? I am getting 18.8.

    97W - can’t get good signal quality

    I appreciate the comments/feedback. Thanks to everyone on the site. I hate it when it does not go as planned, but the troubleshooting aspect I enjoy also. My only real purpose is to get BVN for my wife of 28 years. We had it for 3-4 yrs then they switched satellites and we gave up for years. Her...

    97W - can’t get good signal quality

    Been there last weekend! LOL! I’ll set up the tv and receiver below me while on the roof. The funny thing about this is I bought the geosatpro only because my Andrews optical dish I was using initially ( a little smaller) was having the same issue. I was thinking it and the 10+ yr old lnb had...

    97W - can’t get good signal quality

    I really appreciate your advice. Going to try the existing “dish“ mount on my roof to get that extra 12 ft of clearance. Will report back on progress probably not until next Saturday.....too dark after work for roof work!

    97W - can’t get good signal quality

    Skew is set correctly at 18.8 and the tripod is plumb at the moment! I do hear you on it not being the permanent structure. I have an old dish network mount on the roof to the rear of where the tripod and dish are currently. My best guess just now in the dark is I could get the dish 12 ft higher...

    97W - can’t get good signal quality

    what do you mean the closest you could place it to your house without blocking signals? I am 5-6 ft from my house. Could it be causing interference?

    97W - can’t get good signal quality

    it is a new setup - new dish. Single lnb standard that came with the dish so I do not there is any lnb issue or drift. Traxis receiver is used/old one I used 7+ years ago with a different dish. I have never tried to get this satellite previously. Thinking it is a line of site issue. Trees...

    All channels on it are coming in the same pixelated way.

    97W - can’t get good signal quality

    From my location in Bethlehem, Ga I can’t seem to locate a spot on my property that does not have these massive trees in the background. Currently the dish is approx. 50 - 60 ft from the tree line. What can I do? Roof mount instead?

    97W - can’t get good signal quality

    Trying to understand why I can’t get clear picture. Signal quality = 70/71. Geosatpro 90 cm dish on a tripod on ground. Old traxis dbs3500 receiver. TP21 - freq 12060 and SR 22000 - Horizontal. Any thoughts?
