Ch790 is from Tp27 Freq 121111R(V). Even if from the same sat, different Tps have different strengths and many times it is necessary to aim the dish favoring the weaker Tps by slight deviations to the aim and skew. The weather, time of day and even humidity/air density can cause losses of certain Tps. As previoiusly stated even different brand receivers can respond differently to low signal strengths.

"Tweaking" is by slightly altering the aim of the dish reflector from the backside with a finger. Put your finger at the top of the dish edge and pull back slightly while your partner watches the signal strength on TV. Repeat at the bottom, left and right sides while your partner shouts to you the results.

If you do decide to bring in paid help, make sure you get your $ worth by learning as you watch, then next time you can do it yourself.
