I know this has been asked before and I searched the forums but did not find the answer I was looking for.

I am a newb and don't know much about signal strength. I had the system "professionally" installed and on 110 I get a signal strength of 36 and on 119 I get signal strength of 66.
I have not had blackouts or drops but does signal strength affect picture quality?
Other than messing with the dish, what is the best way to increase strength?
Can I buy an amp and where is the best place along the line to install it?

Thanks.
 
First off to the site.

Second No amps

Third yes dish needs to be probably re-tuned.

What receiver(s) do you have?
 
Welcome to the site.

The 110 and the 119 signals should not be that low as 36.. Maybe the 129 dish maybe that low.
 
What is your zip code and we'll give you the correct settings.

I bet $1 that his skew is currently set within 1-2 degrees of 90.
