I just installed a new triple LNB with built in multi-switch dish on my house. I do have a few trees in the backyard, but I belive they are all below my horizon line. I have tried several (like 10) different mounting locations, all with the same result. Sat A (101) is 96-99 signal strenght, Sat C (110) is 95-97 signal strenght, but I cannot get ANYTHING for Sat B (119). I have a few questions to help me trouble shoot the problem. When looking in the direction of the satillites, do the ascend from right to left or left to right? Basically, by my logic, 101 will be at my right, 110 to the left of that and 119 to my far left. Is this correct or am I backwards? I also did the tinfoil test and found the sinals coming into the LNBs as follows. If you are looking at the back of the dish, and the front of the LNBs, 101 is the one on the right, and 110 is the middle. Covering the one on the right affects neither 101 or 110 so I am assuming that is 119.
What am I doing wrong? Again, I am not ruling out a tree in the way, but based on where the trees are I cannot see 101 and 110 being so strong and 119 being nothing.
BTW, my ZIP is 32810 and my dish is set at 233 Azimuth, 44 Elevation and 49 Tilt. I tried upping the elevation a bit to no avail.
Could my LNB's be a problem (one defective)?
I apologize for the long post and any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Josh

As sort of a follow-up, I fianlly got my dish to recieve all 3 sat's - A,B,C at the same time, which is what I was having trouble with from the get-go. I called a pro to come do it! I had placed my triple LNB dish in the exact same spot as my old single LNB dish thinking it'd work there. Nope. So he relocated it after using some equipment to locate the signals and now it works just great. I guess it's like any other job you do, if you have the proper tools, it goes a whole hell of a lot easier.

Similar problem, but is DTV responsible
I also had the new dish installed for local programs. I made the arrangements thru DTV and they sent their installer for our area out. He fiddled around for 3 hours and finally decided that maybe on top of our roof he could get 119. So he set the dish there. But A and C are great, but no signal from B. He said maybe someone should put up a pole or something. I understand the tree issue, but I thought DTV was responsible for seeing the dish got placed where it needed to be. My son installs for DTV, but not this local area, and he was shocked the guy left it where he did, without trying some alternate sights, or putting it on a pole. Am I now responsible for having the dish set up correctly? Is DTV going to charge me thru the nose for this? Thanks for anyone's input.

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.
