119 problems?

[Steve Mehs]

Anyone elase having problems geting a sold lock on any of the channels on 119 especailly on even tps? All my tps for 119 (expect for the ones on the spot) are in the mid to low 40s. (some odds are almost at 60) Once it goes under 40 I lose the lock. This is happening on both my 508 and 2800. All cables are tight, and all channels on 110 and 61.5 come in fine, there is no snow near the dishes.

I've been watching WNYW Fox (119° TP 20) all night with no problems.

See ya

Everything OK here, Steve

I decided to sleep on it. Turned on Much Music earlier and it was breaking up badly. Everythings fine now, but signal strength is still in the mid to upper 40's. I've had ESPN on for a while now and not one break up. There's a small pile of snow on the side of the Dish 500, that might be causing problems, it's very unlikely, due to the positioning, but I'll knock it down later.

One word: PAM

:D

It wasn't the small pile of snow after all, looks like the dish is just a tad loose and everytime there's a bigger wind gust the piture breaks up. I'll go up and tighten it this afternoon, hopefully.

I have had a few customers in the past in which their dish would get loose because the boards would rot, the winds would blow strongly during storms working them loose, or bolts would just loosen up.
