I did the same and replaced the original crimp on connectors that I installed with my Direcway system in 2002 and the receive signal strength increased also.
During the replacement, I also noticed the ground block was in need of replacement.
Nice .
My wife rolls her eyes when I talk of adding another dish.. :rolleyes:
