I have a new Dish 500 installation and have a couple of questions about signal strengths...
First, I'd like to make it clear that I have a 100% unobstructed view on the entire southern sky from 10 degrees elevation and up. There are no trees or buildings blocking my system. These figures were done with the Dish 500 connected to the receiver with about 6 feet of RG6.
On 110, no matter what I do, I can never get signal strength about 90-95. It's always around 85.
On 119, however, I get 105-110 consistantly.
Is there any reason to worry about this? I am trying to find out if this is normal and if there is any reason for alarm.
BTW: Will a 24-inch round dish (with a D-tube arm) work with the Dish 500 LNB?
Thanks!
