Signal Strength 99S

I'm getting periodic pixeling on my local channels.  What should my signal strength be on 99S in zip code 38019

80+ but you can't fine tune a single satellite and the 103s should be the same.

99(s) isn't the best satellite to fine-tune the dish alignment. You want to look at the aggregate of the transponders on 99(c) and 103(c). Those readings should be in the high 80 to low 90s.

How long have you had this issue?

Where are you located?

This could simply be an issue with those stations' signals.
