When i got in front of the TV and did all the settings, for my surprise the channel signa i was interested in was very low with the picture freezing a lot. Went up to the roof and play with the dish and reduce the signal a bit from the H polarity and increase the V polarity a bit and went down again. Well it worked.
Now the question is: is it possible to program the birdog to the transponder of our convenience instead of pre-programmed? It would make more sense to do that because no all the trnsponders have the same strenght, if the company who makes the birdog could do that(upgrade the software), it would be good and situations like that wouldn't happen again. I don't think is that hard to do.
Thanks.
my question would how you reduced the strenght of the H polarity and increased the V?
how is this done?
