My upgrade from 811 to 211 satellite receiver.
OK, had two 301's and one 811 on DISH 500 with DP quad LNBF... Now, I have two 301's, brand new 211 and a 1000.2 with DP+ triple LNBF (110, 119, and 129). My signal strength on 110 and 119 went from good average of 95 up (some transponders might have been lower than 90, but most were 90 and above, most of those being 95 to about 115) on 119 and 85-105 on 110 on a clear day to 70 and 80's for 119 and 60-75 for 110, and about 40-60 for 129. This was a professional install using my pole mount that I had my dish500 on. And today is a crystal clear day, no clouds at all...
What can I do? Is this pretty normal? I have no trees, buildings, houses, people, etc. in my line of sight for my satellite dish. Cable connections are all new (tech replaced them all) and signal strength is same on my two 301's as it is on my 211. Tech said that signal "Maxed out" his signal meter, but even having signal in the 90's I lost signal pretty often to rain fade... If that was the case then, then having signal in the 70's (maybe 2-3 transponders in the 80's) on 119 and 60-75ish on 110, then I'm going to lose signal more often.
According to install guide for my zip code (740XX)skew should be 117, Azimuth should be 203, and elevation should be 41... Tech set skew to 119 and elevation to 43. Does this sound right?
Thank you,
Tony
