and no i don't mean is it fat, lol, i'm trying to tweak my dish for the 103 and 99 sats, i can only get from 65-75 on them, i tried tilt, elevation and azimuth till i'm blue in the face so i then tried pushing on the outside corner of the dish to aim more to 103 and bam 81% on transponder 1 sat 103b (99 sat also showed higher), it seems to be the only way i can get that high a reading, so i'm thinking the dish must not be true, i then tried to talk my wife into just holding the hand there but no luck,lol, so does this sound like i need to order a new dish or does anyone have a fix for this, thanks.

Well, you're up in Canada so you're out on the fringe reception area. But you might just need to tweak the dish's dither adjustments. Check out these videos ....

dither? is that the same as azimuth side to side adjustments, i 've done that, as for being further north i do get anywhere from 83-95 on the 101 so i think the signal reaches me ok :), the only way i've been able to hit 81 is when i press on the dish's edge.

Sorry, using DIRECTV service in Canada is against DIRECTV service terms and something we do not allow to be discussed here. Thread closed.
