What channels are you missing?

I don't know where to confirm this, but I think those are spot beams in your area.

missing cannels 9,11,13,21,25,50

 

[Mr Tony]

lemme take a wild guess. You arent in the spotbeam of NY locals.
The big 4 are conus (whole US) but the rest are on spotbeams and unless you're in NY (I would hazard a guess no) you will only get the big 4

thanks your write i"m a lot further north is there any way to get these channels ,when i first installed my 5 lnb slimline i was getting these channels.

FYI, the spot beams on the 101 sat are 4, 12, 18, 20, 26 ans 28. Any of those look familiar? Perfectly normal for some to be zero or at a low value if you are outside of the beam.

then why can't i get channel 9 11 21 25 50 and HD channels 2 4 5 7 all i get is searching for satelite signal

At one time, several years ago, there were no spot beams. In other words, if you lived in ...anywhere, and reported a NY address, you would get all the NY locals. Then came spot beams. All but the 4 major networks were lost for anyone that fell outside of the footprint.

When were you able to get the channels?

The footprint of the spotbeam may have changed, and now you are outside of it. You should be looking at the spotbeams on 99 for the hd channels, not 101. Check transponder 20, that's where WPIX HD is located.

Please post all transponder signal strengths on all satellites.
