rbdaves Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 I have a Genie model HR 44–500. I am on the road and have slimline dish on tripod. I have not traveled for a couple of years because of the pandemic so I have forgotten a few things or maybe things have changed. I have set up the system hundreds of times so i know the procedure for leveling and centering my tripod post. Last night I got the tripod set up, dialed in Asimuth, elevation and tilt on dish mount and proceeded to manipulate the dish until I found the 101. Signal was in the mid 80s. I was unable to acquire 99 or 103. I decided to just see what the TV did when I turned it on. The program guide was available and I was able to watch the news and Judge Judy and other stuff. One thing that I did notice when I used the satellite finder on my iPhone was that there were powerlines in front or around. We watched TV last night. this morning I navigated to the menu> sat & antenna> repeat satellite set up> Signal strength. The signal strength test page shows the transponders on 101 are inactive. I am still getting the programming on my TV. I just am unable to check signal strength. What the heck is going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbdaves Posted May 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) I have now been on the road for a week and have set up my dish several times. I am still able to get a good signal on the 101 but cannot acquire 99 or 103. I am still able to watch my DIRECTV programs. Any help here?
