How good is the 1000.2?

I've only had my 622 and 1000.2 for a month or so and have had more than a few signal dropouts. At first they were only on 129 Voom channels but when the installers came back (after I complained) they re-aimed the dish and now 129 is better but now I get dropouts on other channels.

At the time they re-aimed they said the peak for 119 and 129 were at different positions.

Is this true? Could some 1000.2s be less than perfectly or accurately built? Is it possible they haven't plumbed the mast properly?

It's sunny and clear here in San Diego and these are my signal numbers

61 on tp13, 119
45 on tp13, 129
32 on tp13, 110

I didn't do any purposeful picking of the transponders so if anyone can get a better idea how well my dish is doing from different tps let me know and I'll check them and post the results.

The cable run is less than 50 feet but more than 20.

Thanks for the info.

I posted this on the tech forum and haven't gotten any replies there at all but I'm still hopeful someone has inside scoop on this dish.
