dish alignment
Recently had some roof work done and before we knew it, the guy took the dish off the roof. I have remounted the plate and got the pole straight. I put the dish back up and have tried to align it, but am not getting the signal. I am only worried about getting Sat 101. My Zip Code is 43616. I have a LMB 3 dish with the SWM power converter in place. I have the dish placed at Elev 38.7, Angle 211.2 degrees, Tilt -19. On transponder 1 I get a signal of 92-93, then all 0's until #8 - 83, then 0's to #15 - 84, then 0's until #23 - 81, then 0's until #30 - 86, then 0's on out. Previously I had written out the numbers on each transponder and they were always in the upper 80's except on or to transponders that were 0's rather than most being 0's. Any ideas what I am missing on realigning the dish? Any help is appreciated! Thanks

I think you found my issue. That particular receiver had not been used lately and was easy to grab to hook up to a TV I could see through the window to align dish myself most efficiently. Guess was not too efficient. We were going to need to put that room back into service in the next few months and so I guess I need to update the receiver. Since the TV is older and not HD, what is a lower end model of receiver that will work? Thanks! I appreciate the response.

There is nother wrong with the D11 and a standard lnb3 dish for SD. As long as this is the only reciever that you have, If you have other recievers that are using the SWM SYSTEM, then you need to upgrade the d11 with a d12.
