[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3162425, member: 29706"] If you have issues with satellite going out and you have directtv or dish I would suggest grabbing a larger dish. The little 18 inch dishes work to concentrate the signal and bounce it to the LNB, the modern receivers are more sensitive but can still lose signal, a larger dish concentrates more of the signal into the LNB. This is the reason why commercial installations or installations in area's with a lower signal often use larger dishes. Even going from an 18 inch dish to a 30 inch dish will help some or you can buy an amplifier. [URL]https://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp?p=DS2076[/URL] is a pretty cheap deal to increase the signal. This will not work if you have one of the multi satellite dishes but for the single lnb ones it should work very well. When the Canadians, people in Alaska or Hawaii want directtv or dish network service they will sometimes use the old 5 to 8 foot k-band dishes with a modern LNB mounted. If you think it should just work and spending an extra dime should not be required feel free to disregard and rant away even though a solution is available. And if the service is off constantly it could be the dish aiming, the lnb, a splitter, the cable or even a receiver that is bad. [/QUOTE]
