Genie lost signal

Had a new roof put on and had to reset my dish. I have a 95% signal on 101. Now in the evenings if there is a slight rain shower or just clouds I get a lost signal message while watching. Mostly on the mid channels. What’s up?
  • What satellites should I look for? I did 101 and I saw some that went as strong a signal as it, but there are about 10.

    Like I said, verify the other sats are showing a decent signal. I'm not saying that's exactly it, but it's something to eliminate.
  • Sorry, it’s a slim line 3 mounted on my house. Before Genie I never lost signal except a lot of snow. Since I first got the Genie I would loose signal in extreme storms, but never like it’s doing now. After the roofer put it back up I got no signal. I went up and just leveled it and it was 95.

    What kind of antenna is installed on the roof (dome? Open face? brand?). If using a dome and a Genie you would also have a SWM8 switch in the setup. Was that reconnected properly?
