Cablewithaview -- I was not going to call StarChoice -- I know better than that -- I was going to call your suggested contact at Global. I ordered a signal strength meter so that I can make my adjustments from the roof to get the maximum signal and see if I can do any better with my current...

looks like I probably have the 75cm -- which according to their website should be ok at this latitude. I'll call them and see what they recommend. thanks ... Dave.

I'm trying to figure out what I currently have - measuring the Star Choice eliptical dish -- would this measurement translate into the 75cm dish ? I understand the recommendation to "get a bigger dish" but the first question that any supplier would have is "what do you have now?" and I don't...

How do you measure these dishes ? across the widest part it is 81cm -- ???

Service came back last evening and improved over time -- now, early in the morning on Channel 500 CNN, I am getting signal strength of 38 and Ecb/No: 6.0 dB. Oh -- and my receiver is the DSR505. Suggestions anyone ? Thanks !

I have a signal again -- without making any adjustments (air must be clearer) -- and am getting signal strength 43 and Ecb/No: 4.4 dB (this on channel 299) What should I expect when aimed correctly ?? Thanks.

well, I'm back at zero -- the receiver flips to green occasionally but signal strength and Ecb/No: 0.0 dB. There is a little cloud in the sky -- obviously my setup is marginal.

I cannot find a model number, but on mine (a fairly recently purchased HD receiver) -- -- options -- 6 = system setup -- pressing 0 is then "go back" but 4 is sytem settings -- then I have a number of options including 3=installation settings (which includes satellite tuning) and 7=system...

Much Better !! -- I got the signal on 299 up to 60 (it was bouncing up to 66 at times as I played with it but I decided to give up at this point). I'll play around with it some more if necessary. I seem to be getting most channels now -- my signal strength is 48 on channels 420 and 559. How...

Thanks -- I checked the comprehensive city list for the skew readings and those too are differenct than I was supplied ... I'll be up on the roof shortly to try again ! Kusat is not my supplier -- I'm in a remote area up north and my installer is a great guy, but zero experience with U.S...

Thanks -- but I would understand the low signal if it was only during cloudy periods -- the thing is, I've got a low signal even when the sky is clear. I'll play with the skew per your suggestion and see what happens. Can someone double check my suggested elevation and skew readings ? I...

I have a starchoice eliptical dish and corresponding receiver that I have moved to Florida (New Smyrna Beach) for the winter. My supplier in Ontario calculated compass, elevation and skew for me to be 214, 44.9, and 114 respectively. My signal strength is coming in at 40 at best, but more...
