Several weeks ago I noticed that the siganl on the 101 had decreased from in the 90's to 45 - 55 on all the transponders. The signal on the 119 is in the high 90's to 100 still and the 110 is in the low 90's. I have tried to play with the alignment and I can not get the 101 to go any higher. I did remove several limbs which might have been in the way but no effect. I also checked the signal off an old DIRECTV box I had and got the same numbers both inside and hooked directly to the dish. Any ideas what to try next would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jay

Is the mast still secure. Use the IRD to check the elevation, tilt and azimuth to see if the dish hasn't shifted.

Sounds like it could be the tilt adjustment, make sure that it is set to what your receiver gives you.

Sounds like an LNB problem. Is that a Slimline or an AT-9 older-style dish?

I have checked the alignment and it is as stated on the receiver. I did try to realign but was not able to improve the signal. The dish does not have a number I can find. It is oval with 3 LNB's and was installed 4 1/2 years ago. Now the receiver says it needs to download data but will not do so and I can not watch any channels.The receiver is a tivo based samsung dvr.

Thanks for everyones response. I called D**** and they are sending out a repair man. The best part of this is that they said because I qualify as a loyal customer there is no charge for the repair call, however it sounds as if I am going to have to buy some parts . I will post back when I find out the problem.
