Why EchoStar-7 loose power in the evening?

[Michael77]

My question is why the 119 location loose power in the evening, some trasponders came as low as 46%. with small rain we miss the channel for hours. A local dealer said we have to set a bigger dish, but Why? if 2 month ago we have a strong singnal strength:confused:

You probably just need to re-point your dish. Pick the weakest transponder (do this whole operation on a clear day), then get the max signal you can on that one. Verify that you didn't mess up 119 as well.

Well did you have leaves on the trees around ou 2 months ago? Maybe the trees grew up or out just enough to screw up signal. I dont know if this oculd effect it but do you have an airport nearby? Maybe there is an evening flight that screws up your signal.
