Anyone in Raleigh, NC area

[Nosey]

anyone in the raleigh area that can check there transponder strength, a few months ago when I first setup my dish I had 1 transponder that had a 0 strength, now after having to realign my dish I have 2, 18 and 26 that are 0 strength...

haven't found any of the channels I watch have any problem but I find it strange to have 2 now...

I'm in Rocky Mount and have..

2 = 94
18 = 94
26 = 32

32 is the lowest I have

Here's my table for 101:


1-8: 95 94 94 96 91 92 94 95
9-16: 95 95 95 91 95 92 94 85
17-24: 93 56 90 94 90 86 94 87
25-32: 93 0 94 94 94 89 90 89


18 and 26 are my two lowest, at 56 and 0, respectively. I'm in Hillsborough, about 30 miles west of Raleigh.

4,12,18,20,26 and 28 are the spot beam transponders.

Most markets have have all their local channels on one transponder (Los Angeles has them on two because they have so many local channels).

West coast the cities are so far apart that there aren't alot of overlapping spot beams. My reading in SoCal are 4(0),12(0),18(100),20(0),26(0) and 28(100).

East coast the cities are a lot closer so many more overlapping spot beams and you'll see some weak numbers on nearby spot that don't matter.

If you get all your channles than don't worry if you have low or 0 readings on some of those transponders.
