trying to recieve 61.5w sat

[fasttimes]

I'm getting about 80 and 67 for values shown in the signal information screen, but all the channels are stop and go. Some just black out and then I get media not available. I;m in SW Ontario using a 24 inch dish, no switch just one lnb hooked up. Do I need a larger dish? Or is it a code thing/3000hd bin ect... Thanks

should get a better Quality man.
got 61.5 on a 18" dish with 75%Q and close to 100 channels.
Your dish is okay and you can get 100+ channels(HD include)
Post your settings here

yea sounds like a little tweeking required

Ok sounds good. I am using just one lnb in a digiwave 4 lnb holder, shouldn't matter though? Would it make a difference if I just used a single in the end of the mast?

Think is better to aim without the bracket.

Well I am recieving a better signal after tweeking the dish but HD channels are coming in one frame at a time. My str ( not sure what that stands for) is 87% and my snr is 73%. A couple of things seem weird, when I edited my attennae settings from 119 and 110 to just 61.5 and scanned it looks like all the 119 and 110 channels in the guide are still there? How do I clean out the old settings with the 3000hd box? Also when I press menu to see my signal strength it minimizes into the top right hand corner? Thanks for your help guys.

still with that str/snr % you are getting your HD channels should be choppy on 61.5, thats what I have...have you fixed it yet....and do your HD work perfect without any freezing?

Nope, have to buy a bigger dish, thinking of a motorized unit say 36inches wide. Not too many 3000hd owners on this site, seems like.

did you try and get 129 it has alot more HD channels
