D* Install on steel building

[Bob Nielsen]

The steel shouldn't be a problem unless it is blocking (or very close to blocking) the path to the satellites.

Can you answer this question though? Why when I tried the single LNB could I only get signal on trans 22? Shouldn't of all the transponders been there?

Good question, I have no answer for you, unless there is an lnb issue.

What about the overhang? Could that cause me to not be able to get 101?

What is the angle from the dish to the overhang? The signals come in at about a 32 degree angle. That's 32 degrees up from the horizon. Can you post a picture?

It is so rainy and foggy here today, but I will try to post a pic.

Just curious if you were able to get your problem fixed, and what it was.

I was right on with my tilt and elevation, I was just to far west. I was shocked as to how far east I actually needed to be. Thanks for all the help from everyone who replied in the post. I would have given and chalked it up as bad location if I wouldn't have gotten all the good advice from the board. thanks again....
