PSB Posted October 5, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceberg Posted October 5, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSB Posted October 5, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceberg Posted October 5, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bincitysioux Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 90% on the Visionsat.......... No DirecTV tonight apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dallassiouxfan Posted October 5, 2009 Share 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.

PSB Posted October 5, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you need to do some fine tuning at the dish and get pointed a bit better. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIEHARD SIOUX FAN Posted October 5, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you get to your dish easily to peak it yourself? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted October 5, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJU56321 Posted October 6, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
