I've lost my HD (except for Ch 293 – CTV HD) and I need advise on what to do next.
Background: I live in North Carolina. StarChoice (DSR 505) with an elliptical dish has been working OK for a few years. I lost the HD channels a few months ago but I thought it was due to a large tree that had grown and was starting to block the dish. (Changing to an HD channel gives "Acquiring satellite signal Please wait" message). Non-HD channels are all OK.
The tree is now gone but I have exactly the same problems.
Setup shows: EMM Provider ID: 4128; Satellite Name: A4;
Signal strength depends on which channel I'm tuned to:
Ch 280: (TSNHD): signal 39; 0.0 dB
Ch 293: (CTVHD): signal 74; 3.6 dB
Ch 303 (CBCOTT): signal 47; 5.1 dB
Ch 400: (TSN) signal 47; 5.0 dB
Ch 870: (CBC radio) signal = 51; 5.9 dB
When tuned to other HD channels I get 0 dB.
Questions:
1. Are HD and Non-HD channels on different satellites and am I acquiring only one?
2. Why can I get HD on Ch. 293 (and only this channel) just fine? Is it on a different satellite? (Where would I find that out?)
3. Why don't the signal strengths correlate? That is, signal vs dB. Are they measuring different things?
4. When using the "Tune in Satellite Signal" – does the signal level reflect both satellites or just the strongest? What channel should I select when adjusting the dish?
Thanks for any and all help.

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....

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

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.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
