Bad Dish Positioning or bad LNB/SWM

[prushing]

Last night I had some issues late at night on some of the HD channels. It was windy and cold, so I thought maybe that was causing it. Today it wasn't windy and I still was having problems. Now my locals are gone and half or so of the HD channels. Its 20 outside and warmed up to 35-40 through the day. Is this the issue everyone has seen with the SWM and cold? or has my dish somehow gotten out of position ?

#3 and 5 have been at 0, but now they are all 80+

101, 110, and 119 are all 80+

Your alignment is definately out, it's amazing you are receiving any HD at all. The dish is very close, it may only be necessary to meove it ever so slightly.

Thanks, I might try to adjust it slightly tomorrow. If 101 is good, what should I try adjusting? tilt?

You need to adjust the fine tuning adjustments. Check out the videos for your dish type here ...

Thanks for the link, I was able to fix it, and its better than the installer had it. 99 is a little low though, in the 70s on some so I let the tech fix those.
