Gang,
I have a Winegard Trav'ler SK3005 antenna that is causing me problems. My setup has two directv receivers and both receivers are having the problems. The issue is that some channels show an error message related to signal strength.
Here are the facts...
1. The satellite box has an asterisk on all three birds (101, 110 and 119). That means that the receiver can see the satellites.
2. When I look at signal strength for the transponders on 101, I see mostly 99 or 100 percent signal strength.
3. On some transponders the signal strength is much less...around 30-50.
4. Have reset everything with no change.
So the question is...What can cause some transponders to have much lower signal than the others?
I have swapped my two DirecTV receivers with no change. (Including the B-Band converter)
I have also swapped the cables between the two receivers and don't see much of a change.
Cheers,
bill
