Hey All,
New here but i wanted to ask about a new HD DVR install i had done today. I had the P3 dish up and it had been rock solid since it was installed some years ago. Aligned very well - with 96%-100% in clear weather. Only about 25 feet of cable to the DVR - pretty short run.
Today the installer put up a new slimeline for the HR21-100 he brought with him. Took 4 hours to finish it all ( 1 hr of which because he admitted he screwed up and tried to install the slimline too close to the roofline and the tiles blocked the alignment - few extra holes in my wall for that)
In his hurry to finish (I was standing watching and helping him - since his partner called in sick today) - he did a couple of things i was wondering about.
1. He dident install the monopoles. Now the wall is concrete and actually took a bit of drilling to anchor the bolts as it is - so he felt he dident need them and he thought they wouldent fit (See above roof line delay) where the dish was going anyways.
2. I think he spent a grand total of 15 secs aiming the dish. He hooked up his meter, twisted the thing side to side till it peaked and declared success. I did not see him change any of other presests at any time. Im copying my stats below.
Living in South Florida - Rain Fade is a major concern here - Its like an every week thing for me during the summer - and that was with a 96%+ Signal on the P3 - Some of the readings im getting seem awfully low - especially on 99
Should i call back D* tomorrow about the work and see if someone can come out and reaim / secure the thing abit better? Or just try and re-aim it myself with the tips on the forum?
Thanks,
