Opinion on 5lnb signal strength

[Bigguy]

I have just finished installing my 5lnb slimline and hr20-700 this week. I peaked the dish and was wondering if the signal strength on the 103 and 99 are normal or should I try to peak it again.

101degree 1-8 97,95,95,58,95,100,95,100
9-16 95,96,97,62,95,100,94,100
17-24 89,100,94,51,95,100,95,100
25-32 32,92,95,95,84,95,100,92,100

110 degree 1-8 N/A,N/A,N/A,N/A,N/A,N/A,N/A,95
9-16 N/A,95,N/A,95,N/A,N/A,N/A,N/A

119 degree 17-24 N/A,N/A,N/A,N/A,N/A,97,100,97
25-32 0,98,98,97,0,98,99,100

103 degree 1-8 20,88,88,95,0,88,N/A,N/A
17-24 0,N/A,N/A,N/A,N/A,N/A,N/A

99 degree 1-8 100,33,78,43,0,68,n/a,n/a

Looks like you're doing fine on 101, 110, 119 and those are the ones that matter. From what I've read 99 and 103 are just local HD spot beams. I like your avatar.
WE are!
[edit] See this thread post #6 for info about the test channel signal on 499.

I'm kind of surprised that you're getting any signal strength on transponders 4. 12, and 20 on sat 101.

Yeah, I concur - I don't remember the exact reason, but 4, 12 and 20 should be zero.

I don't know why you would be surprised? I have 94,96and 91 on those.And have had them for the last 2 years that i've checked.

Every receiver I've ever installed has shown 0 on those three transponders for the 101.

TP 4, 12, and 20 on 101 are spotbeam transponders.

It all depends on what part of the country your in.

btw, my numbers on the 101 for those locations are as follows:
4- 96, 12- 100, 20- 99
I've got 0 on 28

I guess you don't do many installs in PA then.
