The test switch display shows 119 on input 1 and 110 on input 2. Interesting...tonight a signal is coming through from the 110 with a strength of 45-50%, apparently not high enough to give audio and video output though. Reception is verified from both satellites. Things are getting better. The last two days it has been pretty stormy here...thunderstorms, etc. Tonight it has been clear.
I've got a another spare antenna and receiver. I'll move it around the lot and see where I can get a better signal from the 110. Maybe that way I can confirm the tree is the problem.
Thanks for the help.
Yes, it sounds very likely that you have an obstruction, like a tree, causing the low signal strenghth. Thankfully, your 119 signal is coming through the correct side of the LNB, so you don't have the problem descibed above.
You should be able to put the 110 signal meter on the screen and move the dish slightly to see if the signal gets any higher. If you can't get any more signal, it's time to move the dish to another location, or get out the chainsaw
