    Problems with International 95

The mast is perfectly plumb and nothing can take it down. No tree blocking at all. Perfect line of site (it's on the very top of my roof.) I'm getting...

    Directv International Dish

When I select (KH GALAXY-3C 95) it will show Signal of 178 and Quality 0....and it says "FOUND" on it....whatever I do, I can't get a quality..... I tried pointing it at Galaxy 19 IA5 97...and got a quality of 70........ I have no idea...
