All,
Just a suggestion.
If you go ahead and upgrade your Paratodos package eliptical Channelmaster dish to have Sat A, B, and C, you may want to consider upgrading the internal cabling at the same time.
I noticed that they use what looks like RG-59 or low quality RG-6 cables and connectors.
I went and got 100 feet of RG-6U (quad shielded) and some ends and redid all my wiring from the LNBs down to the back of the reciever. After repointing the dish, I am getting over 80 points on all the Sat A transponders (from minneapolis) and getting 6 or more with 90+. Sat C is in the 80s for its transponders.
Sat B is a bit flakey, in that it still only gets in the high 50s.
I made 5 2foot cables and 1 6inch cable and used shrink fit tubing on all the connetors. I sealed it all up with clear silicon calk for peace of mind.
Over all, my signal strength went up almost 6 points across the board, and, the signals are alot more stable and don't fluctuate as much as before. (everything is +/- 1 point, not 4 like before!)
SHOWH and HBOH come in CRYSTAL clear.
(until it snows next week)
Just a suggestion.
