    thanks for the info....he didn't point me at 61.5, I know that. when I go to the System Info screen, I get green good status on 119 and 110 but yellow-warning select details on 129. The details talk about weather(which we're having), rain, snow or ice build up on the dish(no), blockage of dish...
