In all my years of shooting DTV I have never gotten a 97. Congrats.
Me neither. What I dont get is I run a signal test on my home box that was set up by a DTV tech and its hitting 97-98. I can get mid 90s but no higher and low 90s is usually my stopping point.
The short copper conductor I learned the hard way. I could not pull a signal at a park and everything worked fine the day before. Exact same set up. I replaced the short cable from the LNB. I replaced the long cable to the rv. I finally connected a cable directly to the sat box bypassing ALL cables and got a signal.
The cable from the elec bay to the AV area that connected to the sat box was the culprit. It had just barely been making a connection and I guess the rough Louisiana roads jiggled it enough to make it quit.
Cut the connector off and put a new one on with the proper 1/4' past the threaded collar and that was that.
