DIEHARD SIOUX FAN Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Our quality says 40 and no signal. Quote
Sioux2007 Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Our quality says 40 and no signal. I have a picture but it's really bad Quote
SiouxperDave Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 I have ATT U-verse and the game is on Fox Sports Atlantic (channel 647). Quote
Sioux2007 Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 signal qaulity is at 40%.....what should I do? Still not getting a good picture and the weather is good here in the Twin Cities Quote
PSB Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Try an auto scan, sometimes it helps fine tune the signal, it is overcast and cloudy. Whan you say bad picture, you mean breaking up, or snowy? 1 1 Quote
DIEHARD SIOUX FAN Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 still no signal for us north of grand forks, scanned tp and still nothing we have a fortec star system HELP!!!! Quote

iceberg Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 sounds like the dish has possibly moved a little bit 40 quality is pretty low for a Fortec...in fact on most that is the threshold 1 1 Quote
PSB Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Feel free to give me a call and we can enter the transponder manually, this will help with the signal quality as Blind/Auto scan stops as soon as it see's a signal. So your Freq. may be off slightly... 651-768-9150 1 1 Quote

So your Freq. may be off slightly... huh...must be your receivers because I havent ever seen an issue like that with blind scan. You must have a bad receiver as freq on a blind scan is off by maybe 2 Mhz If he has a 40 quality the signal is there but his dish probably got nudged a little off the arc. 1 1 Quote
iceberg Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Another auto scan did not help. This is really a bummer. Anything else I can do? you have to probably move the dish a little bit. Since you mentioned the same issue yesterday that is probably what I'm thinking. Is it a fixed dish? 1 1 Quote
bincitysioux Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 90% on the Visionsat.......... No DirecTV tonight apparently Quote
iceberg Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 74 quality here on the CS5000 62 on the azbox not good for the D* Folks 1 1 Quote
dallassiouxfan Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Since the game isn't on directv tonight, I had to go out and re-point my FTA dish in the rain. Anyway, I got 65% quality. I was hoping for better but not bad since the weather here is rainy/overcast. However, there is something wrong with the scoreboard. It says that we are losing to Manitoba. Quote
DIEHARD SIOUX FAN Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 we never did get the satelitte to work, need to get it figured out!!! called Pete everthing was correct, what can it be??? worked yesterday for football, but choppy Quote
PSB Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 I got the football yesterday around 75%, tonight the hockey was about 69-79%, but then the last few minutes of the game it jumped to 73% Quality. 1 1 Quote
sprig Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 we never did get the satelitte to work, need to get it figured out!!! called Pete everthing was correct, what can it be??? worked yesterday for football, but choppy Are you motorized, if so, do you get good signal when pointed at other satellites. Sounds like you need to do some fine tuning at the dish and get pointed a bit better. 1 1 Quote
DIEHARD SIOUX FAN Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 No were not motarized, we live North of Grand Forks, we did call our installer and he wasn't much help, but will call him again this week. We called Pete and we had all our info right. Thanks everyone for the help. We thought we would get it on directv, but it wasn't on there either. It's kind of like the fiaght I'm having with directv and versus. GO SIOUX!!! Quote

Can you get to your dish easily to peak it yourself? 1 1 Quote
Snake Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 I got the football yesterday around 75%, tonight the hockey was about 69-79%, but then the last few minutes of the game it jumped to 73% Quality. Yeah, I had the football game at 73%, but last night's hockey game came in around 58%-60%. I figured it was maybe due to a different type of cloud cover (because there was drizzle on Saturday), but after the game the stars were out and the quality was still down in that range. I still had a great picture, though. Quote

Sioux 20007, did you ever get your satellite to work last night? Do you live in ND, we live north of Grand Forks and could not get any signal but it worked Sat. I was just wondering if anyone else had trouble before calling our installer again. Thanks, Kay Quote
SJU56321 Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Got Directv to credit me for a year of the sports pack because they do not have dedicated FCS stations. Quote
