I've talked to Jamie twice and he said its fine on his end. He's getting a 39 or 40 on his setup...now a 39 or 40 when your system is 100 feet from the uplink is crazy!
I always have had a 45 max before this weekend...and that includes the 2 previous football games. My dish is as peaked as much as it can be (done by a PROfessional, PSB). I got a bigger dish and it seemed to help.
I have a feeling maybe the pressure from the advertisers to WDAZ (the co-producer)might have something to do with it...if the signal isnt good, people cant see it and then advertisers are spending money for nothing
since its a road game, WDAZ will have to run the "Livestar" truck down to KS, so it will be analog
just out of curiousity, was the 2 road games at the same analog loc (I know St Cloud was at Galaxy 10 TP 23)?
hopefully WDAZ picks it up again. Then the FSSN people can watch it too
and that color guy last week with old Puckhead Sweeney......please dont bring him back! He sounded so lost.
I got a Direct PC dish from Pete and had a 75 for the game yesterday!! This is a 39 x 23 fixed dish. My motorized was around a 61 for the game.
I wonder if the reason it was better was because it was being beamed to Michigan (WXSP in Grand Rapids was showing the game) was the reason they cranked up the power.
I hope I am wrong and this is permanent

Its a combination of the two.
-The power the Ralph is sending out this year is no where near what it was last year. Last year I could ghetto move the dish to G3 and get a reasonable signal and then fine tune it to a 90 quality. This year with a motorized unit the best I can get is a 46...the chinese channels are at 90+. Fridays game was a wash due to the weather. If it isn't clear or barely cloudy, we're screwed.
-it sounds like your system needs to be peaked...a couple millimiters makes a difference
I have e-mailed the Ralph twice and did get a response that it was my dish. Jamie was the person I e-mailed and he said it was fine there.....hmmmmm, lets see...your dish is less than 500 feet fron the frickin uplink!! Of course it will work there.
Friday was a lost cause.....got a 30 during the logo and right when they scored the 1st goal, my signal went in the crapper...
Football game was at 45 all game
Sat Hockey game started at 45, dropped to a low of 29 but still held
Different situatuion this week. Sioux are at home so the games will be on the normal coordinates.
The football game last week was on analog at a different satellite (no commercials), but the game that we saw on G3 was the same that people saw on WDAZ.....both should be on G3 12000 V 4880 coordinates
