if the dish is mounted higher ont he roof near the peak (not practically hanging off the eave as it is now) then it will have a clear view.

oh man, i just climbed on the roof in the dark with a flashlight. i lined up the flashlight with the dish line of sight and the thing is pointing right through a thcik tree canopy. the installer just mounted it on my chimney near the eaves instead of actually doing work and getting it higher...

Well, Voom refused to reaim my dish and said 30 inch dishes are only available in Florida (which I think is BS, because some of you say you can get them). I did put in a work order for an antenna since the installer didn't give me one. Maybe I can get the guy to reaim the dish while hes up there.

tyork, do you know the location of the satellite? i have a pretty fancy compass and can probably try to aim it better. I will, of course, write down the current settings and take pictures before i do it.

mid 80s, usually 86

ok, i just had my first rain and even a sprinkle made the signal go down to the high 60s. when the main part of the storm got overhead, it went down to 50. I called Voom customer serivce and they said a 30 inch dish is only available in FLorida and I asked if I could get the dish repointed...

well, he aimed it with some device that made a tone that changed with the signal. he pointed till it got the loudest then tightened it up. it is diplexed at the antenna with a winegard diplexer. i have a 100ft cable run through the attic. from there it goes into my monster power center then...

I am in NW GA with a 24" I presume (measures at 26 inches when I went on the roof with a tape measure). And I only get signal around 86 with no rain. How are you guys getting service with a signal of 40 or 50? It says Voom locks on to the sat at 80, and if my signal goes below 80, it turns...

Nope, he didn't leave the antenna that fits over the dish. I don't mind since I am 60 miles from DMA so it won't pick up squat. He said if I called Voom, they would authorize a bigger antenna, though.

Wow, 3 providers. I bet your wife will flip. You going to get rid of one if you like voom?

Yeah, good install. Everything works fine, although all he really did was bolt the dish up. I already had an OTA cable ran and he just diplexed that. He didn't give me an OTA antenna because I already had one, but I was under the impression that I got one anyway. He said I could call and get...

Happened a few days ago when he installed Voom. he was on the roof and I was helping him with cables and such when he said "You know, Voom is going out of business soon." I was like "We'll see, I have been following the news pretty closely." Then he said "I don't know why you don't...

Yes, you can overload a channel. Sometimes if one channel is already very strong but you need a preamp to boost the other channels, you have to buy a single channel attenuator. They make them for all channels. Like if you got ch 11 really stong, but the rest were weak, if you boost the...

Ok, antennas are a little more complicated than just buying 6 of them and pointing them in 6 directions. If you point them away from each other, the signal is just going to reflect out the other antenna. Also, make sure that the antennas are the same. I am not sure what that terk looks like...
