Occasionally, when aligning the dish after wall mounting, it may be possible to get a 'Found' reading but not a satisfactory 'Picture Quality' readout in either Horizontal, Vertical or both.
This indicates that the satellite dish has been incorrectly positioned and that its line of sight to the relevant satellite is obstructed by either a natural feature such as a tree or a man made object. The dish will need to be re-positioned to enable the correct fine-tuning to take place. |
As a side note this also indicates a slightly warped dish; I have found this on a few occasions where former customers have moved and taken the dish down themselves and called me to reinstall it at their new residence. If they were not careful in dismantling the dish or have dropped it :shock: :shock: the dish becomes "warped" as I call it - you can spot this by holding the dish upright at your feet and looking straight down at it. A warped dish, I have found, will cause good quality (high S/N ratio on the
Birdog) on one polarity but lousy on the other -- no amount of tweaking will rectify this. Drives me nutso !!! :?
