I didnt know about the other birds moving into orbit. When did this happen? The change on the meter strength on the Birdog occured on 10-11-06 (wednesday). Its a drop of 8 or 9 % points on the Birdog which as you know could entail poor signal reception from the receivers. So the drop really concerned me. If I were in a LOS potencial problem that day I wouldve moved the dish a 100 times to get back the signal strength that Im used to seeing on the 110. But since there was nothing but blue sky in front of me...I knew something wasnt right. Changed test cable/LNB's ...you name it...trying to get back to 99%. Needless to say nothing worked. What shouldve been an 1hr 1/2 install took almost 3 because of that little "whatever" thing that caused the signal to be week.
Birdog meter and 110 Satellite
Within the last few days or so I have noticed that the 110 satellite for Dish has been giving me a weaker reading on my Birdog. Regardless of a clear LOS...still nothing has changed. The 119 is as strong as ever but the 110 has dropped signal strength on the Birdog. Im positive its not a bad meter. The readings in the "house" from the receiver appear to be just fine. The local channel transponders signal strength has gone way up though. 110 on Trans1 used to be around 80 or so on a good day...now im seeing 101 or more on the graph. Anyone explain this????
