I have a starchoice eliptical dish and corresponding receiver that I have moved to Florida (New Smyrna Beach) for the winter. My supplier in Ontario calculated compass, elevation and skew for me to be 214, 44.9, and 114 respectively. My signal strength is coming in at 40 at best, but more typically mid 30's and drops out entirely if there is any cloud cover at all. Some channels come in without problem (eg. 299) but others, (eg 564 HGTV) are marginal and others (eg 528 Space) do not come in at all.
First -- are the recomended settings correct ? Any small motion reduces signal to zero -- left or right or up / down -- I have not tried playing with the skew. I also do not have any special equipment -- i.e. my spouse is inside calling out the readings as I play with the dish on the roof ... frustrating at best.
thanks.
Dave.
