I lost my Directv signal to trees a while back. I've removed several trees and now can only get a signal from transponders 28, 30 & 32 on the 101 satellite. The strength is a solid 85 on all three. All the others are 0.

I'm using an old 18" standard dish. Both an old Hughes SD receiver and an H20 confirm those three transponder signals.

Is there a tree still in the way? Is the LNB bad? Is this not a Directv satellite I'm picking up?

Please help!!

I think you are aimed at 110, not 101. Move 9 degrees and you should find what you are looking for.

The signal strength window says the 101 satellite is selected. I've panned the dish left and right to the southeast and those three transponders are all I can find.

right, but the screen is showing transponders 28, 30 and 32 which comes form the 110 satellite

Thanks. The 101 is to the left of the 110, correct?

Is there a place on this site that has a more detailed breakdown of satellite locations and transponder assignments?

 

[peds48]

depends in which coast you are located.

depends in which coast you are located.

Or really whether your in front of the dish or behind it.
From behind, 101 is to the left of 110, which it sure looks like this dish is pointed at.

The primery Satellite is the 101, is does not matter what kind of dish you are using or the program package, use the 101 for every aligment.

101 is the satellite location in the sky and if you look at a map with the latudide overlay, it is centered over southeast Texas.

From portland Or, you should be aiming at 134 magn (+/-) with a elev of 33.2,

Yes, I was aimed at the 110. Panned to the left and down a bit and found the 101.

Thanks for everyone's input!
