Signal

[Dr Pepper]

I upgraded to a hopper 3 setup looking at the eastern arc. I am in south central Kentucky. Do these signal levels look on par?

Thanks

What are you expecting DISH no longer reads at 125%

I’m not expecting anything I’m just asking if these signal levels look normal given my setup and location

Don't know about your specific location but generally those signals look good.

You're welcome. That's what we're here for.

Those are good signals for Eastern Arc

What I want to know is: how did you bring up that display? (I'm new to the CUI) Even my installer didn't check that display.

Diagnostic screen (home button 3 times), #3 for dish, #5 for test installation - aka a check switch

I just tried that on my Hopper Duo, and that screen did not look like the pictures in the first post. I have never seen that display on a Wally, either. Is that just a Hopper 3 thing?

I can’t check because I’m not home right now but I went into diagnostics ..not sure which menu item I clicked on but to get to that screen I clicked something called “send status. “

My bad, that's the send status screen. If you hit 1 on the Diagnostic screen, then drop down 1 and hit 7 for Send Status. Step one checks connectivity, step 2 checks signal. I was wrong last night. Too much Bandanna BBQ and too many Corona's for dinner lol. (FWIW Step 3 sends that data to Dish)

Thanks. I just used that screen, and I found out that my internet connection is actually slightly faster than I thought it was.

I don't have a Hopper. Can someone explain how to read that screen? I assume the satellite it's looking at is the top of the screen. Then the chart I get stumped on. Transponder #'s in first row, then subsequent rows are levels (I guess at four different times)? Then what's the 9 in the first column, second row in the first picture?

That's the tuner number, I'm guessing. The chart is much simpler on a Hopper Duo or Wally, with only two rows of signal readings. (two tuners)

Yep, and my H2 shows the expected three tuners...

The numbers across the top are transponder numbers. The numbers going down the left side are the tuner numbers.

Doc, the thing that threw me the 1st time was the high bar/low reading at my dads several years ago. But it seems to just be a Dish thing.

The numbers on the left going down are tuners, the ones on top are transponders
