Weak 119 signal

[John Geary]

I have recently upgraded to HD dish network and am having a problem with the new dish 1000.2 signal. I am in the Detroit area and can only pull in a 119 signal strength of 57% with the RG6 in the #1 position which will not allow me to skew without losing the satellite. With my old dish 500 my signal strength was 105% can I move the coax cable to another LNB position say #2 and will this help?

You will probably get some response if you post this in the Dish forums.

When you upgrdaed to HD you also changed receivers.

The new receivers have a different scale for signal strength that is significantly lower than the old scale.

57 is not a low reading on the new scale..
