When jc7257 made the statement about the loop back cable, the light bulb in the head came on. So after connecting the cable, HD came in very well. I sure wish the manufacturer or the dealer would have dropped a note in the box telling what to do with that cable. I would like to cram it up their xxx. Guess they think everyone works in the tech department.

So with an hour this late afternoon out at the dish tweeeeeeking, I have much better signals. It sure would be nice to have micro adjustments for those blasted touchie LNB’s. The thickness of 5 layers of tinfoil under the edge of one of them can make a 20 increase in signal!

Thanks to all that stepped in to fix my problem. I will now go stand in the corner for being so stupid and not having a cable connected.
