119 problems

[biscuit]

I installed the slimline dish about two weeks ago, and I got 101,103b, 110, and 119 with signal strength in 90's, 80's for 103b. About a week later the signal strength started to go down on 101 and 103b into the 70's but 110 and 119 stayed into the 90's and 80's. I adjusted 101 and got back into the 90's for 101 and 80's for 103b and 110. The signal strength for 119 started to go down into the 70's and 60's and this week finally went to 0 except on transponder 22 it is the only one receiving signal in the 80's. What could be the problem? All the other sats are fine. I don't know why I can't get the rest of the transponders on 119. I spent 3 hours trying, no luck. Please help!

it sounds like you might have a loose or bad pole mounting ....

first thing ... make sure that the mounting is firm & not movable ... like a rock ... be surwe that all your mounting nuts or screws are tight...be certain that you pole is level ... very important...set your tilt & el by your zip code...
do not move your tilt again...

find your az & fine tune to the 101... adjust your el & az for the center of the 101... lock it down ....check 119 ...i always get good readings on all sats when done this way ...first thing ... very important ... rock solid level mount...

OK-strange one for you to respond to

I have been having issues where my H21-200 loses the program guide but all channels and audio are excellent. When I originally set up the slimline dish I had most transponders on sat 119 in the mid 90's

Now I only have a 96 signal level on transponder 22, all other available transponders are 0

Ditrectv says do not worry about this they may have re tasked satellites but they are not sure??

Looking for thoughts as to why only one transponder on at 119 also- Unless I am wrong in my thinking if I get one transponder at 96 on sat 119 then I am locked onto the spot beam
