It is interesting that some folks are reporting signals on TPs 4, 6, 26 and 28. I thought that these were the TPs that E-3 couldn't provide signal from because of failures and that the E-12 satellite was not designed to use.

Two transponders did something funny, e.g. TP 30. It locked in at 45, and then (sort of) "reset" (as in, dropped back to 0), and then "re-locked in" at 28. I repeated that behavior a second time. The third time I tested it, it simply went straight to 28.

Really bizarre.

Lots of factors on the signal strength. For instance..is the Dish500 installed with the I-adapter to put the LNB full bore or is it just mounted in the 119 slot?
 
Is the signal meter level on all the VIP receivers calibrated to give the same readings if they were all connected to the same dish?
I believe that is the purpose of the new meters... I should think they would be within a few points of each other assuming all other things are equal such as cable length, quality of fittings, and such. What I don't know is what impact (if any) running simultaneous readings off the same dish will produce. If it is truly passive, then there should be no impact.
