    Star choice troubles in Dallas

    I have the same 2-dish set up in SoCal, and have excellent signal (9.5-10) on the SD channels and lower (6.9-8.0) on the HD channels. I could never get the 75E to have strong signal on both stats.

    Star choice troubles in Dallas

    I had problems after the new software downloads for the HD receivers. I had had no problems for years, and after the new software for downloaded, the sound/picture started to drop all the time. I ended up setting up two 36" dishes and the signal went way up and it took care of my problems...

    Star Choice New Channel Alert-ABC-W HD ch 295

    Maybe nothing changed F1R, but for some reason when the software goes from CC to E4, channel 310 becomes unusable (and most F1R channels). I have seen it 4 times, as my receivers got updated one by one and I lost picture / sound quality one by one. I had good picture on CC in one room and poor...

    Need help with Dual-Dish setup

    I want to setup two dishes because the 75E no longer provides enough signal strength for the DSR5XX in So California. I have tried switching between the new code and the old code (had some of my receivers replaced and they came with CC) and the image starts breaking up as soon as the new code...

    Star Choice New Channel Alert-ABC-W HD ch 295

    I have been getting a lot of breakups since the new software arrived. My signal has not changed. It is not great, in the 7.0-8.5 range. It varies with the clouds I guess. It seems like I need 8.5+ to not get breakups. Here in So Cal, I have not been able to get that good of a signal on...

    Setting up a dual dish system on SC

    I would love to get bigger dishes. Since the recent software download, my signal quality in So Cal with the 75E does not seem to cut it anymore. Where did you get the bigger dishes? What are the specs?

    Problem with New Starchoice Software

    Thanks, I will move the dish in a better spot (away from the trees). I did a quick test with a dish I set up in my boat at the marina (no trees around) and it worked much better.

    Hopefully that is my problem too. I will let you know when I have a chance to move the dish.

    Problem with New Starchoice Software

    Please tell me more, about the symptoms of your tree problem. It is difficult to move my dish, so I am trying to figure out is that will solve my problem or not before spending my weekend on that project (an possibly falling off the roof). Did you still get decent signal with the tree...

    Problem with New Starchoice Software

    The new 5XX software may require better signal quality that the old one. Never had pixelation with the old software. I get pixelation and the sound is dropping every 5 seconds with a signal quality in the 6.5-7.5 range. I am not sure that I can do much better than that in So California. It...

    Problem with New Starchoice Software

    Unfortunately, I tried that last night. It made no difference. I do have a branch growing in front of the dish. I will try to move the dish this weekend. Hopefully that will take care of it. Any idea if a 7.5 signal behind a tree is worse that a 7.5 without the tree, or is a 7.5 a 7.5 no...

    Problem with New Starchoice Software

    That is stronger than what I get in Southern California. Maybe the new software requires stronger signal.

    Problem with New Starchoice Software

    I am in Southern California. I have been using Starchoice for a couple of year. I have 2 DSR530 and 1 DRS505. After the new software download (last week), all 3 units started to pixelate and to drop the sound very frequently. Everything was fine before the new software. Anyone down south...
