HELP! SuperDish Q&A

[BizarroDish]

Had my dish serviced two times.

Although both installers told me that the fact that my dish is pointing directly into a tree wouldn't hurt my picture, I can never get over 89/125 on my signal strength.

What Satellite and Transponders should I try?

I live in a community with a Gestapo like Homeowners association so doing ANYTHING to the tree is out of the question (Hell, it took 2 months to get approval for the dish to be installed).

Thanks in advance.

89/125 is still a pretty good signal strength. Do you notice lower signal strengths or loss of picture during the spring/summer when the tree leaves bloom out? Is your SuperDish the 105 or 121? Try transponders above 10 for satellites 110 and 119.

Are you sure it's pointing into the tree and not going over it? It can be difficult to tell.

As for which transponders to check:
119 - 11, 12 should both be over 85 at the least and within 10 of each other
110 - same as 119
121 I think T-20 and signal level varies depending which dish and where you are. In Oregon I'm looking for 70.
