Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my signal? Is it the dish or the cable?

we would need more information than this to tell you what the problem is. Like what exactly the problem is, when it happens, etc

sorry, I wasn't able to show the picture of my signal strength on 103c and 99c. Anyway, let's try it again...

I am getting signal searching on some HD channels (i.e. CNN, ESPN News & etc.). Any idea why?

It's because your signals on 99c and 103c are so low - they should be in the 80s at least. It looks like your dish is not aligned correctly.

Yes, I already scheduled a realignment next week. I guess my siding installer messed up my dish... Thanks.

Having continual problems with 771 Searching for Signal problems. Had DTV re-align my dish this weekend and all signal strengths are upper 80s to mid 90s.
Have a HD-DVR HR 21-200
HD H23-600
SD D12-300
Problems are on both HD receivers. Mostly Golf HD, TNT HD, HDNET, HD Theater, LIfetime SD and WGN SD.
Actually, I am getting the 771 signal more frequently after he re-aligned the dish than before. All connections were checked as well.
Any ideas before I call them again.
