Signal strength

[rmz]

I am wondering what ia a good signal from a 5lnb dish? what I have now.
101-77%
103-85%
110-73%
119-80%
Is this acceptable or can I get better signal , I have read in other threads some people are getting 95% is this bull?
Also I have a zinwell 6/8 multiswitch which is not grounded ,should this be grounded?



AT9 Dish
Zinwell Wb68 multiswitch
Rg6 Quad
B & T snap & seal

Which receiver?

go to be an h20.

go to be an h20.

Maybe you know, is the meter reading lower in the H20 still true? Or is that fixed?

i would say its a fair signal considering its an h20, although depending on makes the hardware on the h20s reflects that signal as well. as far as ur switch, it doesnt need to be grounded if the wires are already grounded before it and the dish would need to be backbonded(grounded). But it has nothing to do with ur signal. you can check a standard receiver and see that the signal is peaked out, if not call dtv to arrange a service call.

It will never be fixed, it's just optimized for KA signal reading.

I looked at too many of them, I almost have nightmares.

That is correct guys it is a H20 receiver and I did check on my standard receiver and it peaks out @ 95% ,thanks for all the replies.

Yes, the multi-switch should be grounded.

The cables should be grounded.
