Question about strenght and quality

[Tbass]

Hello every one. I'd like to watch a game today that is on the far end of my local spot beam. I can get the channel but my quality is really bad for that channel. Right now on my att. setting for that sat. I'm at 85 for both S and Q.
My question is. If I adjust my dish to pick up more strenght on that sat, will that increase my quality also for that local channel, or would I be just wasting my time.
Thanks in advance

You'll Be Fine.. I Have S-74 Q-72 As We Speak And I'm Ok..
The Nfl Games Will Be On Numerous Channels Today So Just Take A Look Around The Channels And Find It On Another Channel If You Want.

Where I live the Det. locals are the farest away in my spot beams. I can get every other local channels, but watching these channels from Det. is like watching a channel in a bad rain storm. The channel keeps going in and out. This is the only channels I'm going to be able to watch the game on, so If I go on my roof and tweek it in better, will that help. I don't want to be wasting my time if not, and will just deal with it if I have to. By the way I'm only on 119 and 110 sats

Tweaking your dish in your situation may help, mark where your dish is now with a black perm felt pin. This way if it gets away from you, you can come back to your original reference point. Move just a little, get some help so you don't have to run up and down the ladder...

Sure go up and tweak all you want but like I said there is going to all kinds of games on both those sats today and I'll almost positive you'll find that game on another channel somewhere else..

Thanks Jc and rick.
Rick I looked all around, and that's my only option. Where I live and in my spot beamed area, it's being dominated by the Bears game on almost every local channel at 3pm

I never did try to mess with my dish. I got through the first half ok, but now that the afternoon is almost over, I drop in signal strenth on some tps. I do have one question. I was messing around with my att. settings and found that if I changed my ldn freq to 11200 I get great S and Q for that tp. When I go to the channels now for that sat. it says auto roll processing. Is there anyway to correct this or do I have to use 11250 feq. by the wat I have a dish 500

you have to use 11250 for 110/119/82/91.
