What's it like on the other side of that tree line? Any change you can move the dish on the other side with a pole mount or something to eliminate the tree issue?
Please help with 119 problem.

wow! That's a skinny window..I suggest some pretty extensive trimming for the future..Those trees will continmue to grow. Mature trees tend to grow more slowly depending upon species.
Neighbors....The good the bad and the nosey....My response to the interloping busy body neighbor is always the same " Do you pay the note on my house?"..
Usually that's enough to shoo away any nosey people..On occasion I run into these types while installing. I have had to get nasty only twice in 9 years of experience....If the trees are on your property they belong ot you to do as you wish..Unless of course your city has tree ordinances which regulate the canopy. I used to live in such a place..
I live in minimum 2 acre lot neighborhood where most have more than that. I dont see my neighbors when the foliage grows in. I barely talk to anyone but of course the thing they remember is me knocking out power and screwing up their alarm clocks Monday morning. Its actually quite funny now.
The HOA has fined people even right after Katrina 500 per tree that was cut down.
I had to chuckle at that story. My neighbors would have pitchforks and torches at my front door calling for my head.
Hmmm, so 119 is higher in Phoenix? I have 110 and 101 fine and 0 on 119. I thought it was becuase of a building (the apartment complex just south of me) but that shouldn't be the case if 119 is higher. Is that correct?
PS Thanks for the welcome!

Actually, in Phoenix the 110 sat is nearly due south, so 101 and 119 would both be slightly lower than 110.
This doesn't make any since. I'm now getting mid 70's on 119 where I was getting 50's. Did mother nature do me a favor? :up
For sat signal great but due to Global Warming, it will melt your dish later this year.
What doesn't make sense, that 119 and 101 are lower than 110 where you live, or that the signal strengths are changing? If you have nothing blocking 119, I would suggest that you have an alignment issue.
I've fooled with the dish for about two days. I'm now getting it jumping again from 40 - 87. Could it be a bad LNB?
I'll check the connections tomorrow and let you guys know. Thanks for the input.
Sounds like it might be a bad LNB. The other thing it could be is if your dish has a dent in it. Even a small one can make a big difference in where the signal gets reflected. I would check the front and back of the dish to make sure there are no dents from things like baseballs before purchasing an LNB.
There should be no dents and I didn't notice any while I was trying to tune it. Thanks very much for your input.
It could be a bad lnb. Have you checked the alignment? Is this a 3 or 5 lnb dish? If it's a 5, it points to the 101 sat, so 119 is farther west than it may seem, meaning that you may need to trim some branches.
Grasping at straws now. I haven't cleaned up my installation. I have a lot of excess cable maybe 25 ft or more curled up under the eve. Could this disrupt 119 but not the other sats?
