129 is low, the others seem acceptable. Just to note based on what I have read in this forum, something is wrong with 129, so an unusually low signal is common. My signal strength on 129 fluctuates from 25 to 35
Use a small TV right at the dish. Hook it up to tha RF coax out on your reciever with a long piece of coax and adjust away. Be aware that when peaking the alignment, 1/16" is a long way. You might want to take a sharpie and mark it where it is now.
good luck, eric

You'll have better insight through these to two present threads. Understand, 129 has become a relatively serious issue. You're about to schooled and empowered, I know I most certainly have through reading and interacting. In all actuality, both strings provide a fascinating glimpse into the technology behind Dish.

well there going to send out some one to check the signal Tuesday for free. thats free after they first said there would be a small charge for sending some one out and i reminded them that i had only 3 months left on my contract, then it was free. picture isnt bad i just thought that was low numbers.
Yes, I will agree FCom911. I have learned tons just browsing this site. I had no clue what went on with the birds up there and really never gave it a second thought until I started having issues that tech guys couldn't resolve and that is when I googled for help and found this site and I'm glad I did.
