PSB Posted November 20, 2004 Author Posted November 20, 2004 Got signal at (45% Quality) the usual place, very weak signal again, staying solid, with slight break up! COOL! Using Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra system. Should just get better as the night goes on as the heavy cloud and rain is moving out of the metro area, now if EVERYONE would step outside and blow to the north east it may help : ) Go Sioux! 12000Mhz V 4880 Quote

I'm not sure which one of the two numbers is more important. Quote
squirtcoach Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 Don't know why it doesn't work for me Quote
mksioux Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 Don't know why it doesn't work for me <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The only time mine did not work, I re-set my system and it worked. That's the only suggestion I have. I'm sure Psb will have more. Quote
PSB Posted November 20, 2004 Author Posted November 20, 2004 The problem is the VERY weak signal and the overcast wet conditions, I switched to the Satwork ST 3688 and its slightly worse, so I will stick with the Fortec tonight, all I can suggest is if your dish is low enough go out and GENTLY dry it off, same with the LNB. Thats what I am about to do..right now Quality (THE MAIN SIGNAL TO WORRY ABOUT) is at 44% Quote
squirtcoach Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 Thanks, I already reset my system once today. I suppose a second one won't hurt. Getting close to game time. Quote
PSB Posted November 20, 2004 Author Posted November 20, 2004 Here is the problem (along with the very weak signal this year) http://www.intellicast.com/Local/USLocalWi...op&prodnav=none Quote

TWICE Its been a long year since last year 100 deg tempatures, zero temps. I would suggest a service call dish repeak if in doubt, again if the CCTV channels are there the system is fine, maybe some fine tuning will help! Quote
squirtcoach Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 Wiped it off, CCTV still comes in. No Sioux Are we winning? Quote
squirtcoach Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 CCTV signal quality is 61. If fine tuning would help, let me know when you can be here, Pete. There is more hockey tomorrow and a football game, too. Thanks for the help. Quote
PSB Posted November 20, 2004 Author Posted November 20, 2004 Should at least be a bit better weather wise tomorrow, lost picture here now! I will also be hooking up my BIG DirecPC dish tomorrow to see if that helps, bigger dish but the LNB is not as new/low noise. Time to dry off the dish again I think, I am available for service calls tomorrow but at this rate even I am not seeing anything and I have the $500 signal meter and a motorized dish I can tweak the dish to the east and west but it only helps a little, as I said the CCTV is not even flickering here and thats about all I can do these weak signals suck!

mksioux Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 My signal quality is down to 52% and it's starting to pixalate a little. Still have it though. <crossing fingers> Quote

CCTV is solid, as I said with, signal quality at 61 Quote
PSB Posted November 20, 2004 Author Posted November 20, 2004 I have lost all picture and audio so you are doing as good as me : ( CCTV is at 85% but thats on a Fortec and the Quality is just set higher, I would say it may help but at this rate is does not look as if it will be enough..... If I had a better truck I would drive up there and repoint their uplink dish and wipe the rain off it so everyone can see the game I KNOW what the games mean to everyone : ( Quote

PSB Posted November 20, 2004 Author Posted November 20, 2004 Kick the dish for us if you see it........it must be a DirecTV dish they are using to uplink this year Quote

Fedorov Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 How can FSSN promote the use of a dish if they don't send out a signal that isn't good enough for people to watch? Quote
