Average DIRECTV Signal strength

[Lakerbird]

I have noticed that whether it's 18" or phase III dish, the signal strength on Transponders 30 & 32 are extremely low.

Spot beam is 100, everything else is in the low to mid 90s, ...and Transponders 30 & 32 are bringing in 65-70 signal.

HBO & Cinemax are located on these transponders, and I would appreciate it if DIRECT would switch all those home shopping networks on money signal with HBO.

Anyone else noticing this?

TPs 30 and 32 are currently on a different satellite, yet still at the 101 slot. They aren't transmitting at full strength. There are two or three sats at that slot used as backups. When the next satellite is launched we should see 30 and 32 strengths get better. So not to worry.
