Dish reinstall on pole after new roof

[Mr Tony]

you didnt read the link you posted eh? It has your answer
I was referring to Arctic_Fox's post in regards to Directv 18" dish and a Slimline HD dish and losing signal more on the slimline than the 18" SD dish. That person likes to post Directv things in a dish topic which I see this is.
(I snipped the below from your link)

Standard-Definition Broadcasting

• Current technology sends most of Direct TV's standard-definition TV broadcasting to the satellite dish in a smaller range of 12.2 MHz to 12.7 MHz.

HD Broadcasting

• The DTV KA band frequency carries DirecTV's HDTV broadcasting. The HDTV channels contain much more digital information than a standard-definition broadcast. The KA and frequency is capable of handling the increased information more effectively than the KU band frequencies. The DirecTV KA band frequencies extend your range from 18.3 MHz to 20.2 MHz.

The higher the frequency the quicker it goes out in rain/bad weather.
99W & 103W are where the HD feeds are mainly. 101W has some but not alot (mainly SD still)

Rubbish when i lived back east in boston back in the stone age. we had dtv with the pizza dish and it never went down during rain ice and snow. it's all in how it's pointed and signal strength. we had dtv with there big ass dish and it went down during a rainstorm!! and our signal was at 99%

Yet I had DTV 15 yrs ago and it lost signal very easily, with several tech visits to supposedly fix it
