I have an H-20 with AT-9 dish (professionally installed) and I get heavy pixellation, especially on HD Locals.

My zip is 30060.

Here is a list of all my signal strengths for each satellite and transponder:

(Does it look especially low?)

101:
1: 53
2: 61
3: 47
4: 51
5: 48
6: 30
7: 45
8: 29
9: 47
10: 63
11: 47
12: 37
13: 53
14: 29
15: 44
16: 29

well i would say yes but the H20 uses different scaling I have mid to high 90's with the HR10-250 and 60's-80's with the H20...it may be a little low, but again the H20 hasn't got all the bugs worked out and it depends who made yours..The H20-100 has MAJOR HDMI priblems with Samusung tV's while the H20-600 (the 2nd one I;ve had now) has a reboot problem.....and It;s starting again friggin D*!!!!
 
Yes, definalty looks on the low side, signals should average in the high 70s to low 80s with the H20, 90s+ with non-H20s. It appears you need a repeak. This does not preclude other issues.

He spent almost an hour pointing it...so I'm concerned that with my slight tree issue that may be the best I can get. Guess I need to figure out a way to chop down trees in my neighbor's yard since my dish is mounted on my roof.

Its just that some channels (229 HGTV is a good example) and HD Locals are very pixelated and the slightest heavy clouds right before a storm and I have nothing on most channels.

Yes, it could also be LOS. Good luck.

Here is a list of all my signal strengths for each satellite and transponder:

This is the signal strength that show in my H20 receiver ( by using WB 68 ):
SAT 101 ( Transponder 1 ~ 32 )
77, 69, 74, 0, 73, 76, 73, 73, 73, 75, 74, 0, 74, 77, 71, 77, 66, 100, 69, 0, 77, 76, 75, 79, 75, 0, 70, 100, 76, 77, 74, 77

SAT 110 ( Transponder 8, 10, 12 )
74, 74, 74

SAT 119 ( Transponder 22 ~ 32 )
65, 46, 63, 67, 64, 64, 64, 0, 65, 54, 67

Since right now there is no signal for the SAT 99 & SAT 103, so it will just show 0 for that.

According to the reading of your signal strength, I believe that your AT-9 do not point in a good position.

Try this:
Tilt: 68
Elevation: 47
Azimuth: 212

Same problem here. If you do finsd a "secret" way of killing a neighbors tree please let me know. I've been looking over the net but cant find a stealthy way of doing it. It would be hard to girdle a tree with out being caught.:(
 
Everyone already said what I would've said.


When I looked at your signals but before I read all the other posts, the first thing I said to myself is, "this guy looks like he's pointing through a tree."
